[edit] About

Hobbies include: architecture involving magnesium-tungsten alloys, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, unnecessary surgery, Gozer worship. History, politics, architecture. Don't believe much of what you read about the first two topics (and for that matter a good portion of the third) around here, go to a library, read some books.
