"I found out how to do this on the Internet"

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Norm say this on today's butterfly
table episode. He was drarwing an ellipse with a clamp n tool and a piece
of plywood at 90 degrees.

That's an interesting challenge. How can I prove I'm more cynical than you
are?

Well, for one, by not reading or responding to this thread because the truly
cynical would have thought it was spam and simply skipped over it and all the
reponses since (Damn, I guess I am not a cynical as I thought I was).

Possibly interestingly, my first thought was that it would
be a story of someone doing something really stupid, proudly
demoing how they can, oh, I don't know - clean a toilet with
ammonia and battery acid or something. ;-)

How many other people, upon seeing the subject of this thread, thought
it was another one of those send $5 5 places and get millions back spam?
Not dinging the original poster here, it just aggravates me when my
cynical nature gets in the way of being hospitable.
