Some lovely stuff here:

In Grade 8, he, attired as Stalin, and other friends re-enacted the Yalta conference on the balcony of a friend's house. In university, he became the Trivial Pursuit champion at his college, and even won when the whole residence took him on.

Upon graduation (from university), the Ottawa resident took a year off to devote eight to 10 hours a day adding new entries to the site.

"It's an addiction," said Mr. Pulsifer, who describes himself as anything but self-indulgent in other aspects of his life. He lives at home and doesn't have a girlfriend.
 
That last sentence qualifies as the most shocking one of the day so far, folks.

I could understand if this guy lived in some place like Brampton or Owen Sound, but, man, Ottawa's a great city to party in. Plenty of great bars and thew wonders of Quebec just minutes away.
 
The dressing up as Stalin was the thing that broke me up.

Can you imagine recruiting his friends?

"Hey, Johnny, wanna play Winston Churchill? We're gonna divide up Europe"

Isn't it about time for you to be arrested again? Society must be crumbling into ruin if you're still out on the streets.
