> getting him a TED talk

That was actually me. I suggested it to Chris Anderson originally.

(Also, the memes=funny pictures thing drives me nuts. But then again I started memepool.com in 1998 or so...)

For some reason, your nickname strikes me as hilarious. I hereby present: "joshu investigates"

---

A surfing editor named Anderson asked the moot the URL to his imageboard, a place popularly supposed to give insight into humanity's character. The old moot said, "Go straight to /b/." After he typed several characters, the moot said to himself, 'He also is a common b-tard.'

This incident was told to joshu who said, 'Wait until I investigate.' The next day he went and asked moot the same question, and moot gave the same reply.

joshu remarked, 'I have investigated that moot.'

You are literally the first person to get my username.

The underlying joke is that those who have met me realize that I am in no way a zen monk. I am more of an anti-Buddhist, seeking to achieve a state of complete Worry.

Always been meaning to ask you, does a dog have Buddha-nature?

Not my dog.
