Today's thought
  • Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars and so on--while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man--for precisely the same reasons.
Just a quote I like. Refresh.


— Hi, I'm JayHenry, also known as JayHank. I'm here to help write an encyclopedia. I registered at Wikipedia awhile ago. I like it here. I hope to stay.

I really believe in what Wikipedia is trying to accomplish. It's still a work in progress, to be sure, but in 17 years this could really be something amazing.
So in real life I'm a somewhat recent college graduate living in the Thunderdome, in the days after The Fall. Priorly I've somehow lived in Moscow, Kiev, Bucharest, London, Chicago, Toronto, Zurich and Washington; ironically (or is it tragically?), I don't really like cities. It's interesting — I have found everywhere — that the relationship between population density and the loneliness of a population is not inverse (I guess that's the tragic part).
I like to read. I like hippos. For more about me, you can check out my userboxes or some articles I've worked on. I'm not very active right now, but it's because of life, not the project. For all its flaws this is history's greatest encyclopedia, and it's an honor to play a role no matter how small.
