Wow. I think we are all taking this way too seriously. It's like the
playground bully who is looking for attention - any attention. Hit delete,
and move on. The author is a wacko. We all know it. Isn't that enough?

> 2. Your disinterest in actually researching the program before you

> 3. Is your life as a developmental biogology geek so lame that you would

> 4. It will further offend your sensitivities when I share the fact that
