    That was Robert Bork. This one is Robert A. Bjork. Not the same guy.

    Heck, I'm not even American.

    Yes, I'm aware of that - it was a joke. Just like the post about "weird rock music" made by someone else - I don't imagine they really confused this guy with the Icelandic singer.

    Sheesh, Slashdotters have so little imagination anymore...
