I am avapoet. AMA!
[this post was originally made to a private subreddit]
Last month, /u/Snazzlo did an MML AMA. I suggested that we should get to know one another better by making it a regular thing, with each IAmA MMLer nominating the next, and in response, /u/Snazzlo nominated me. Let's do this thing!

An idea to help MegaMen find one another more easily in the big wide world of Reddit. What do you think?
[this post was originally made to a private subreddit]
I love the MegaLounges, and I really love the MegaManLounge. We're a hugely disparate group of people yet we've come together into a wonderful community that I'm proud to be a part of. And I felt like it'd be nice to give something back. But what?

Gross domestic product based on PPP valudation of country GDP matches the "county" MegaLounges so far, predicts Japan next. Have I solved the puzzle?
My thinking as it happened.
If I'm right, the next MegaLounges will be /r/MegaLoungeJapan, /r/MegaLoungeIndia, /r/MegaLoungeUnitedStates, and finally /r/MegaLoungeChina before we need a new theme.

TIL that in 1967 a brand of foot powder was elected mayor of a town in Ecuador
Picoaza is a relatively small village near Ecuador’s Pacific coast. It's the site of an archaeological treasure: a settlement dating back before the time of Christopher Columbus. It's also a rather poor area, where clean drinking water, sewer systems, and telephone service are inadequate at best.
It is also the only town in the known world … -
Fun fact: Brazil is the only country in the world named after a tree [details in comments]
When Portugese explorers landed in the area of South America we now call Brazil in the year 1500, they discovered the caesalpinia echinata tree growing there. They noticed that this tree had a similar red-coloured wood as the related Sappanwood (caesalpinia sappan) tree, native to Asia, and that a similarly-useful red dye could be … -
Last night I dreamed that I met Greypo
We were chatting about the MegaLounges etc.; he seemed agitated that I have multiple Reddit accounts (and one of my 'other' ones had recently found its way into the MegaLounge after a comment I'd made, using it). I ended up enumerating my accounts, to him (I've made a couple of throwaways over the years, … -
You know what they call a MegaLounge in France?

The Irregular Verbs
I like the irregular verbs of English, all 180 of them, because of what they tell us about the history of the language and the human minds that have perpetuated it.
The irregulars are defiantly quirky. Thousands of verbs monotonously take the -ed suffix for their past tense forms, but ring mutates to rang, not ringed, … -
