Funny both in the writing sense and the not-writing sense that 90% of the entries on permanence were "nothing is permanent."

Also does it force you to type everything in lowercase?? Because otherwise there's a point of demographic interest.

I didn't even notice that it displays in lower case. Interestingly enough, when I copied & pasted my entry elsewhere, it came out with proper capitalization as I had typed it in.

This may make me a writing geek but I really like this page.

To understand nerds, you simply need The Handbook.

Bright ideas need the FriendDA.
