//chaotic diego anthology, january 12 *talking as he types up a hypothetical* "David [Katz] makes me angry with big words I don't understand, so I punch myself in the crotch." "I love it when I get to read free scientific articles." "If I can't get the whole article for free, I'll just read the abstract, and tell people I read the article -- but I'll read the whole article later, if I ever get the opportunity." "I remember when I was a kid and discovered that the electric fly-swatter doesn't actually hurt that much. I had so much fun with that." "Oh, the article starts with a quote from Paradise Lost. This is how you know it's a really good article." "[Katz's] laugh is like an electric shock from the fly-swatter." "I think [Losekamp would] look really good with a long wizard-beard."
