how long did this take you?

I shall honor your efforts by subscribing to this page.

Ten minutes, maybe? Most of them are from the site's "Interesting pages" section. I just copied the links and posted them to a different forum, which automatically linkified them. All I had to do was add the indents.

Oh, and duct tape. It took lots and lots of duct tape.

I shall honor your efforts by subscribing to this page.

I am both humbled and honored...
