Heh. I sound like one of those guys who looks at a pair of boobies and 
makes some comment about biology or evolution or something, while all 
the other men in the room are thinking "mmm, boobies..."

As best as I can tell, "research" isn't about actually finding stuff 
out. It's about compiling long complex lists of citations to 
impressive-sounding journals. I've never actually /seen/ a journal in my 
life!

I do a fair bit of research on various topics, and IME, it certainly 
is. :)

you know what's funnier?  If you showed these people your long and 
elaborate posts about haskell, they would be far more sure you are a 
complete retard. :)

if you instead talked some non-sensical shit really slowly like a 
demented marijuana user, you'd be really popular. :)

BTW, I'm about as much of a moron talk-wise.  I don't see the point of 
most social talking, I don't enjoy the subjects, so I simply don't 
participate and instead come online to talk with other geeks like me. :)

I knew I was playing too much video games when I had dreams with crosshairs.

Or when I checked under the stairs for Deus Ex grackles.

Or when the baby starts crying in the restaurant and my first thought is 
"gas arrow".

All true stories.

And hurry up before the current government closes them down.

And take ear plugs to cut out the incessant sound of keyboard clicking.
Our libraries are being turned into internet cafes and kindergartens.

Now we know that he is even one of the guys that when someone puts the 
expression
(a1 -> b -> c) -> a1 -> (a -> b) -> a -> c
on the blackboard, he will think "mmm, boobies..."
