> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > No, taking a plastic cast of a brain and reviving the original person from it is exactly as plausible as jay\_jay’s claims. I stopped paying attention to that thread. I assumed you meant plasticized as in a process of plasticization to be developed in the future, somehow in relation to his uploading. If he is claiming that currently plasticized brains can be resurrected, then you are correct that that is a foolish claim, as, obviously, there is nothing there to be resurrected, really. Don’t know that I feel like delving back into the thread to see the prices claims he is making though. ---

Annnd he claims he’s an English teacher.

How can I tell a class of students that Macbeth was a troubled soul, driven by his greedy wife and his insatiable ambition when in reality he’s largely a product of Shakespeare’s imagination (I know there WAS a Macbeth) I’ve never met the guy and can’t possibly claim to know anything about him. _Suuuure_ he is. ---

Not necessarily, but most socks are doing it to troll. **Okrahoma** , OTOH, was the trolliest troll who ever trolled the trolliverse. Let’s hope he’ll get caught faster in his next incarnation. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Which makes me wonder: Who has set the record here for the longest time posting as a troll before discovery? On a former board I used to frequent, for whatever reason (gaming), someone trolled and posed as a christian fundamentalist and evolution-denier for six years, before he got tired and just told us straight out he’d been lying all that time. I’m happy about the good news re: Okrahoma! ---
