Dave Hughes' Campaign To Connect 6 Billion Brains

    Oh spare me your bombastic pomposity, you knob-knuckled, change
    jingling, bulbous lipped, shulgus wearing, furled guinous. Just stop
    speaking. Nothing escapes your drooling, gaping maw but gibberish, you
    are unintelligible, your sense went swirling away with the rinse
    cycle.

    You have no business interacting with the conscious, your very
    presence gives monkeys headaches. I can't believe that diminuitive,
    dried up peach pit that rattles around in the space where a normal
    human's brain should be is able to direct your palsied and wasted
    limbs to achieve locomotion.

    Your very personage is abhorrent to see in daylight. You ears are
    blue-veined and freakish horrors of aerodynamics, your forehead has
    creases so deep they are a haven for unclassified flora and fauna of
    mysterious origin.

    Each wheezing breath you take uses oxygen that by rights would be
    better utilized by an autistic chimpanzee, and each exhalation fouls
    the air with so vile a stench as to bring birds crashing down dead
    from defoliated trees.

    You wompler, you fraldersnash, you eater of curried laundry lint. You
    have the audacity to daily inflict your existence on the innocent
    people of this planet. HOW can you stand to be you?

  6. Dave Hughes... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I actually had a friend who knew met Mr. Hughes at the University of Penn ( they took a comperative lit class toghether i believe) Anyways, they apparently hit it off and continued to correspond for years after school, even to this day I believe. There is actually some super interesting (and relevant) info to be found in my friend blog here. He speaks abit about their relationship a bit, bot more importantly shares some insight into theit correspondance, in which Dave often discuss his work and general thoughts. Makes for a great read, as Dave is a VERY interesting man.

    You obviously didn't read the article, fuckwad. The solar panel is to be place above-ground. How DARE you comment on a story when you haven't even taken the basic 5 minute courtesy of skimming the story for content? Why is it people like YOU get to take up valuable oxygen rather than enjoying a fate you deserve such as the events in the WTC or in the Bali nightclubs? DIE, you vermin scum!
