About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorSince we were born, we have been doing this. Our madness manifested itself in the form of multitudinous questions, answers, pub names, tape recordings, explanations, composers, historical documents of events that were imaginary, concepts demanding impossible logic, twisted science, an alternative explanation for everything, a desire to take the normal and make it ridiculous, (and vice versa), and a refusal to shut up and accept things. And now...we have decided to invite you to come and visit our world. But mind the rocks. They're hungry.
