For example, did you know that honey producing bee colonies varies inversely with juvenile marijuana arrests? Or that per capita consumption of sour cream correlates to motorcyclists killed in non-collision traffic accidents? Who knew?

The author looks to be currently working with Oculus VR equipment as an engineer after recently leaving radgametools. It is interesting that he used to be a programmer at id Software too.

Slenderman was behind the recent stabbing of that 12 year old girl… almost hard to believe. That’s the other side of the awesome of the internet I guess.

“Fights off” seems to be a bit of a mistitle; it didn’t seem like the guy was really in much danger of being attacked (though, I’m sure from his perspective, at the time at least, that wasn’t at all obvious). Still, I’m amazed the first words out of his mouth weren’t “I [soiled] myself”.
