Geez - just run downhill. Problem solved. EDIT: OK, now that I actually read the article, it turns out the Boston Marathon is ineligible for records for just this reason - it's overall downhill. With that attitude, why not just require

Hm - I visited Peru (Lima, Arequipa, and Cuzco) 15 years ago, and with the exception of sopa criolla and some good fish, nothing was especially exciting. Cui (guinea pig) was interesting. But then, it wasn't that long ago that one'

It's only a win for that community in the sense of demonstrating that they can make FB blink. In all practical senses it is meaningless. So far their scheme for authenticating pseudonyms is vaporware. Meanwhile, I know multiple people

I can't figure out how they think they're going to verify that "Sister Roma" is really being used by Sister Roma. Also, this combination of sentences makes no sense: "Part of what’s been so difficult about this conv

Yes. In general I still don't think it's fair play to not admit when confronted, but the fact that the prankee was also a pranker, and ultimately said "well played" and characterized the earlier denial as "OP and gf

Interesting. Could one use this to harass an ex? Because unless these sorts of ads are flaggable, I bet that will happen, whether unintentionally ("Dear Angelina, I miss you and I know you have seen this 53 times") or intentionall
