Favorite GamaArticle:
I can't read -- my code appears in a dream and I just copy the symbols into the computer and it just works. Geeky Dream: I dreamed that I had the Gibbinator 9000, the ultimate in FPS weaponry. You don't even have to aim. Just pull the trigger and all opponents are reduced to meaty gibs. I threw it away since there were no explosions.
