Thank God I’m an atheist 11 comments »

Actually, I ain’t. I’m more of an agnostic. But it’s a cool quote from Luis Buñuel.
Here, let’s throw a couple random links:

An atheist at Virginia Tech (if you have no time to read all the links, read just this one)

Is “eBay Live Chat” a chatbot? 1 comment »

I tried registering on eBay today. Their help pages say that there are two ways to verify an account — either credit card (I don’t have any) or certain email address.

KGS was founded in 2000 by William Shubert.
The first Czech on KGS was probably makov (registered on 3.9.2000).
