Bigger than a 20 point corner?

Bigger than a a ponnuki in each corner. When I started selling my books silver was about $10 an ounce. Now it is $18.

That's just the tip of the iceberg! I'll present proof once I have collected enough that Don and Jordus are actually the same person.

I'm shocked by this!

Actually, no one really knows which if the following, if any, is true:

1. I am the real DrStraw pretending to be Sakata
2. I am Sakata pretending to be DrStraw
3. I am an imposter pretending to be DrStraw
4. I am an imposter pretending to be DrStraw and Sakata
5. I am not who you think I am and I am really Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam pretending to be DrStraw and Sakata
6. Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam can add up the numbers as well as anyone else.

Only time will tell.

I'm going to completely ignore those points and instead comment on how cunning the name, Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam, was. We were missing Sakata, and Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam showed some of the same characteristics. But calling out Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam as Sakata would not really pin the identity since Sakata was just a persona in the first place, and I don't think anyone suspected it to be DrStraw without the latest clues in the sig. Now that we know your true identity (still ignoring the above) the name Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam makes perfect sense.

What other type of logic applied to the choice of a name would you expect from with a person who has a PhD in Pure Mathematics.

"I am the real Dr Straw"

Actually, you are not. Neither am I. I was a judge at the local high school scholastic competition a month ago. I sat down next to one of the other judges, a person at the university whom I had heard of but never met. His name: Dr. Richard Straw of the history department. He was quite amused when I told him about my online moniker.

But you are old enough to know what TV show I was parodying.

It's nice to see you here, Dr. Straw, whatever the name.
