My main purpose in this world is acting like a lunatic madman, working on people's nerves by pulling of the most evil jokes you can think of. But since i'm new to factbook-stuff i will allow you to comment and point out what is wrong or missing (only constructive critisizm please)cuz i feel like there's lots of stuff that still needs to be added. Dont link me to other factbooks, if i do something i want it to be different from what others do.
