Quick, set up a wiki page (4.00 / 2)

Poemless's Law (also known as Poemless's Rule of Dostoyevskian Likeness) is an adage formulated by poemless in 2009. The law states: "As ET grows older, the probability of its members resembling characters from a novel by Feodor Dostoyevsky approaches one."

"Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms." -Dostoevsky

Because the best thing would be for this madness to spawn yet another meta diary?
