This isn't twitter, get confused much?  Hash tags are used for keyword
searches, I can't click that hash tag and see every post on this list
with the word 'rolleyes' or tag 'rolleyes'.

I didn't know I lived in another millennium, glad to know (that you
discovered) that I am one of those people scientists often theorize
about that can tap the infinite space time continuum to live in another
time.  I shall try to go back and meet Queen Victoria so that I may gain
more personal insight into her life, and to learn how she was so great
even in the face of all the deception she was around while growing up.

Intriguing find (I give credit to Google for helping me):

According to the US census, I'm native speaker of the multiple languages
I speak because I grew up in a multi-language household. That means I
end up on all languages lists for the languages I speak, plus growing up
in a multi-language household. Hardly accurate accounting.

I just proved that it was not, in-fact, an assumption. I'll take
Computer Engineering for 700 points Alex. Thanks.  I would like
something more challenging than a clever' Google search could not figure
out easily.  Thanks again Alex.
