| Motto |
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. I, unfortunately, am Russell Huggins.
Out of relative obscurity I come, and so too shall I return to that obscurity, but only after I have taken a moment to pause, stand before you wearing bed-rags, with uncombed hair, with a three-day beard, all in order to address you, my dear reader, that I might convey a portion of those stirring morsels of thought of which I have become the recipient. And I realize that precious is the time allotted each man and woman, and that it is not my wish to detain you, to charm, to bewitch. No. Rather, it is my wish to take your arm in mine for but a few hours that we might stroll. There is much to be said and so little time; I beg your patience.  | |

Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. “Desert this mad and unfounded obsession with the so-called truth. In pursuit of truth, you are guaranteed a long and perilous run through a semantic maze that derives meaning only from your undivided attention.” —George Irwin | |
