Haven't checked snopes to see if there's some underlying nefarity Is that a word? It should be... but the idea is very, very cool. Wow.

Dear Fiberbabe: Interesting. Remember Thoreau "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation". Yet the person who wrote that site showed a failure to comprehend the necessity of budgeting, with a generous allowance for the nefarity of chance.

do you suppose there's any nefariousness behind "Beginning 1 April 2002"?

I think they debunked that suspicion in the FAQ.

Dear Fiberbabe: I found nothing in FAQ about date, but in NEWS, site was started a couple weeks ago. And much too much word for April Fool Gag.
It reminded me of "Magnificent Obsession" by Lloyd Douglas a long time ago.
