The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)
Rahul, who has the ability to talk for four hours non-stop on the coolness of Firefox, owns two goldfish named RAM and ROM, a cat named Eudora, and a dog named Spam. Rahul once got a detention for disrupting class, and had to write out 500 lines on the chalkboard. Being clever, he wrote the first line in full, then wrote "CTRL-C" on the next line, and then "CTRL-V" 499 times.
