Why are you here? Looking at my About Me? What moved you to visit my profile? Am I answering one of your questions? Am I asking a question? Why did you come here? I don't know, to you I'm just a block of text that you're reading. This interaction only goes one way. It's just me, talking to you. You can talk back if you want, but I can't hear you. What was that? Sorry, I'm a little deaf in one ear, could you say that a bit louder? And now you're shouting at a computer screen, and everyone thinks you're crazy. You've been tricked, backstabbed and bamboozled by a paragraph of text on the internet. And if you didn't say anything, then I've still wasted your time by making you read this. It's a lose-lose for you, either way. Why are you still reading this? I've just told you you're wasting your time! There's nothing about me in here! but you're still reading. Why? Why do feel this compulsion? Stop it! Stop reading! Are you just going to keep looking at this paragraph until it stops? Here's a challenge: don't read the last sentence. I'll put it a few lines down so that you don't do it accidentally, but here goes. Click off this About Me page now.

  1. 10 lines to go.
  2. 9
  3. 8
  4. 7
  5. 6
  6. 5

  10. 1 line left, you should have already left the page.

You read the last sentence; you failed.
