				PFAQs:
				<p style="text-indent:0;">
				Q1: Why is it "chirs241097" instead of "chris241097" in your usernames?<br>
				A1: That was an old typo...
				<br>
				However according to the Haskell tutorial found at haskell.org,
				<code>"chirs" == sort "chris"</code>
				and is her twin nemesis. That would be a very playful joke.
				<br>
				Why use 'her' here? Simply because my textbook on Operating System Concepts
				does so.
				</p>
				<p style="text-indent:0;">
				Q2: Why do the pages on your site look <i>so</i> ugly?<br>
				A2: The reason is simple but "irrefutable": I simply <i>like</i> this style.
				</p>
				<p style="text-indent:0;">
				Q3: What the hell is the favicon of your site?<br>
				A3: Well, it's a placeholder made in half a minute :).
