Just wanted to say this is up there with the most clever comments on the Dope. I’ve been thinking about it for days now…

eta: I see it was Thudlow’s comment first. Still creative, especially as it was the first post here using the Ψ as a ‘psy’ sound in a title.

I believe Exapno was merely signing his name in the original Cyrillic. IIRC, he recounted the origin of his handle as taken from a Russian poster for Harpo Marx.
