    I am a solipsist, therefore you are wrong, and the Muppets are merely a figment of my imagination that I created to please another figment of my imagination, mainly, you. This comment is also a figment of my imagination, as well as /. and all related entities. They exist only in my mind. I dare you to prove me wrong.
