    so one avoirdupois pound of gold is worth about $9100

    Actually, it's about 1516, because things on the moon weighs 1/6 of what they do here. *And* if you mine the gold, you are removing from its mass, making it weigh even less. So, i'd adjust it to an earlier 1500s.

    Unfortunately, in the 1500s, exploration of the moon would get you a marked as a looney, and a looney isn't worth very much, especially outside of Canad eh?

    Oh man, you can bet that looking into the moon or bits of it will have you coined as a loony, figuring out its "source" is just plain cheesy, and given its size is anyway having to force a choice between the light and dark side.

    s/phenominon/phenomenon/

    I actually figured i spelled that incorrectly, but i forgot to check it before i posted.

    s/"Mysterious Furure" story as post stupidities/"Mysterious Future" story and post stupidities/

    No excuse for that one. :)

    s/check-in with a kingly posts/check in with a kingly post/ (or s/check-in with a kingly posts/check in with kingly posts/)

    That happened because i rewrote it to have a stupid chess reference. I didn't double-check the rewrite closely enough.

    mnay misstakes: I assumed this was intentional. See? I am awake.

    Thank you. You have restored my faith in humanity.

    s/slashdot id/Slashdot ID/ (or perhaps instead, s/ id / ID /, and then s/slashdot/Slashdot/ - this will fix more errors which I will henceforth not mention)

    Considering i was just taking a break from some database where things are named objectID, instead of ObjectId, i'm going to cut myself some slack. :)

    s/druel/drool/

    Probably comes from writing "kewl" too often.

    Only you can decide which category you fall into, but I'm thinking multiple. Maybe this is more a folksonomy than a taxonomy?

    You do realize i fall into all "seven", don't you? :)

    BTW, i was rushing through the reply to make it as a first post (and made second :( ) so the final check i usually make before posting was rushed. Now, i don't know whether to be embarrased or proud about that choice. :)

    The seven ways that people post on Slashdot.

    The First Poster - Although this phenominon has been addressed and has somewhat lessened, there are still echoes of "First Post". These people wait on a "Mysterious Furure" story as post stupidities just to get in first.

    The Fisher - These posters, rarely named Bobby, check-in with a kingly posts to generate replies and nothing more. Their posts, perhaps at first, seem to make sense, but on closer review contain mnay misstakes, intentionally designed to garner replies.

    The old-timer - These posters, who hang around slashdot land, have forgotten to move on. They post just to show off their low slashdot id. This makes some druel, and others comment that low id does not mean more intelligent. However, they're all wrong anyway.

    The reposter - Reposters wait for old stories to come up again and find modded-up comments from the old stories to repost. If this is the first time such a story is up, they post a bunch of old buzzwords that realign synergistic paradigm shifts.

    The soap stander - Soap-Standers have what to say, and don't care where they say it, such as about why Bush is beery good, and that the UN and its anonymous leader are drunkards, and no amount of coffee will help.

    The idiot - Idiots can't count, post moronic comments, and quickly type in useless garbage to fill in a little more space.

    IMHO, using a word such as that in a story lowers the standard /. has.
