- Hello, hello? Tap, tap. Ah.
-
- I would like to start by thanking Kalki, without whom this would never have
- been possible. Thanks to his reams of misinformation, there was no need to work
- hard, as even the simplest correction requires large quantities of basic
- information to even get started.
-
- i would secondly like to thank Ted. If he had been up to his old self, and
- posting at his regular rate this week, I would most certainly have come in a
- poor third.
-
- And now, in hopes of keeping this record pace, I will quote the entire texts
- of Shakespear, Chaucer, and Asimov.
