You know, its actually quite amazing how much time is spent in writing (as in life) getting to know people. Our whole world is centered around them, in fact. You may consider them divine creations, or big-brained apes, or even alien experiments, but they're still the most important thing. Writer, retailer, police officer, serial killer, even a hermit (though they're primarily concerned with avoiding people). Everyone. Which is remarkable because most people are spectacularly uninteresting, and often pretty damned slow. It really is kind of a paradox. I love paradoxes. }:)

Here's an example of a couple of these points. I was downloading random movie quotes today, and found one from the incredibly, unutterably, ridiculously bad movie Piranha 2. If no one else remembers this screen gem, this was the one where the giant mutated piranha not only ruled the suburban lake, but also sprouted wings and flew around gnawing on people. The quote (in a .wav sound clip) was "C'mon now, people eat fish, fish don't eat people." Seriously. Isn't this just about the worst thing a person could say in this situation? I mean, doesn't this guy realize that the name of this movie is freaking Piranha 2!?!? Did he think he could get away with saying something like that? Idiot...

P.S. Have you ever tried to step down a video game level? The other day I went from playing Tony Hawk 4 on the PS2 directly to playing Tony Hawk 3 for the PS1. Holy polygons, Batman!
