Icarus

To Whom it May Concern:

Greetings. I am Icarus, and this is my user page. This seems a relatively straightforward observation, but you'd be amazed at the things some people miss. Or perhaps you wouldn't. I don't know much about these things. In any case, here it is, and make of it what you will. And now onto the seemingly obligitory "who is this person?" bit: I am currently a Culinary Arts major at Grand Rapids Community College ¹ and am enjoying it very much.

Things I've Joined

• Frink's Drinks, the official homepage of H2G2's softball team, the Rambling Misfits.
• The Church of the True Brownie. Thou shalt partake of the brownie.
• Mayor Fenchurch M. Mercury's Cabinet as the Minister of Anti-Stupid.
• The Blackfield Church Group (which, incidentally, doesn't exist)
• The Gam Room Storytellers. Creators of the most irrational, confusing, mixed-up, logic-abusing, insane, and entertaining story ²in, if not the world, at least h2g2.
• The University of Life, which doesn't have nearly enough people writing things for it.³

Department of It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat. "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Useless Fact, Trivia, or Piece of Information: Until the seventeenth century, dinner knives had pointed ends and were used to spear food. The rounded ends are a direct result of Cardinal Richelieu.⁴
