Profile
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Wow, I will reserve judgement on the creepiness for the moment and just say thank you for the link.

Well, there certainly are creepier pastimes. But exposing the inherent danger in these alternative methods is still a worthwhile cause.

Collecting "anything" is a little bit odd, a little obsessive-compulsive, but still fairly common.
But if you are going to collect "something", then quantified anecdotes of lunacy seems a pretty good choice.

Just wondering since I want to disprove your belief by posting articles of crazy sh-t that people do.
