About Me

For those interested in the origin of my name, I happen to be a proud Degu owner. I am currently a student at Idaho Falls High School and seek to make amends for all the ip addresses there being banned due to vandalism. (Yes Ryan, that's your fault) In short some bad Helen Keller jokes which were very, shall we say, "un-encyclopedic" in nature. I enjoy all things electronic and WIKI and edit stuff I like to fight the ignorants who post false info. Maybe I'll add to this page later... Happy editing - you make a better world!

What do you fear the most?

Recently I came up with a small quote,"There is nothing scarier than a well organized, systematic, convincing lie." Before turning this in to school I decided to run a google search to see if I was copying someone's quote from the recesses of my mind... It is interesting what people think is scary. Using the search phrase "there is nothing scarier than" these are some of the results I came up with. Some are insightful, some don't make sense, and some are funny.
