Take my word for it, this guy nfp, he’s out to lunch.  Rumor is, he’s under psychiatric care.  Seems he once was a pretty respectable scientist and statistician before this thing you got here—whaddya call it, blogging?—made him stupid.  Yeah, it changed his whole personality.  He disappeared from the Academy and turned up here.  It took a while to track him down.  Now every other word is ‘blogging’ or ‘propping’ or some such nonsense.  He seems as brainwashed as this Elizabeth Smart girl.  Hell, he’s even talking in verses like her.  But he’s probably in good care now and they’ll likely resurrect him soon.  Reinvest him with his old outlook, hard science, and No Fucking Poetry.  Meanwhile, before they pull the plug on this blog-thing, here’s a sample of the real nfp’s previous prowess:
