Spike, that has to be the worst comparison (metaphor? I'm not
even sure what to call it) that I've seen in the couple of months
I've been monitoring this list. If more of these are submitted
from your side, I'll definately want to add you to the list of
SI-agents here on the planet. Your SI would clearly be the one
optimized for generating wierd humor and over-the-edge scientific
theories...
