No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

My pleasure. I had a blast writing it... and researching it, too. |

Top article. XKCD has long since been a favourite of mine too. I bet that was a brilliant trip.
A mere sign isn't going to keep those clever ass-raptors out though. I hope you were armed with sufficient quantities of grapejuice. |

I had plenty of fermented grape juice; does that count? |

Bastard typos. I went through it I-don't-know-how-many times.

Indeed. I've written to the editor asking for it to be corrected, but they've probably already gone to press. Ah well. I can live without one extra vertical stroke. |
