    Who here thinks that Zuck has always known about this contract? And has been praying every day that Ceglia had forgotten about it / died / etc. And the stress and stakes rose day a…

    I had a thread a while back where I brain dumped all of my current ideas. I'm hoping good karma from that will come back around and help me out now :) In my braindump, I had a few …

    Please explain this site... I don't get it! Especially the part about how it gets traffic! :)

    A lot of people have done a lot worse things than Jason. I don't know why people feel the need to piss down his throat on a daily basis. I do wish he'd put his energies into someth…
