There is some mermaid out there that is going to be very annoyed at my edit. I'm going to make it my homepage so I can keep changing it back.

I'm glad that you are only making them real, and not making them poop on the floor.

[hohum]

Wait, I don't see it!

And someone changed it to "mythological aquatic creature." I might actually leave it alone now.

erm. wikipedia vandalism doesn't really sound like you. is something else bothering you?

it has always seemed strange to me that you are capable of being profoundly honest about your own flaws and mistakes, typically the hardest thing to be honest about, yet you are reluctant to connect with others.

[hohum]

It doesn't? I'm kind of a butthead. Maybe 60% butthead.

I'm not terribly reluctant, if I think there's grounds for a connection. And honesty is pretty liberating in general.

The key to wiki-p vandalism is to make subtle changes that have potentially significant meaning and knock-on effects. I created a completely new slang term for the town I grew up in and claimed it was in common use prior to world war I (who's going to claim it's false?). Kids reading the page in their local history classes will be learning of this new name about now.

Mwu ha ha haaaa! :)

I edited my high school's wiki to say I was one of their distinguished alumni

I've written most or all of quite a few wikipedia entries. And not a bit of nonsense in any of them! The entry on "spotted hyena" is serious buissness.

What did you say about mermaids? You should make the main image a manatee.
