Also, Capntastic claims that there are clues in the interviews Toady has done,
Did I?

It was here and here, unless I'm not only misreading but actually imagining the content of those posts.

Month end work is most likely doing the monthly reports, which come out on the first of each month respectively.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=8.0

it would take a bit of time to sum up all the donations he gets over a month, probably atleast a few hours of the stuff, ontop of whatever else he might need to do that day

Like getting 30 days worth of energy drinks. Makes me wonder if Toady's got a trailer he uses for grocery shopping while on coding binges.

Umm... Fourdots, that kind of looks like Capntastic was just pulling people's chains.

After all, I may or may not have plenty of utlra-secret clues about the secret new world government's takeover plots that I won't share, and nobody can prove or disprove my supposed possession of them unless they, too, follow the clues by playing children's showtunes songs backwards.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

...oh hey.. that's kinda got my curiosity now too.
It isn't DF or anything to do with DF.  It's another game.

But yeah, today it was taxes.  Of the gross 32000 from 2008, 7000 go to the government and 1300 go to paypals, leaving 23700 for the rent and bills and food and web hosting and stuff.

I just figured it was paperwork and such..

@Capntastic My money is on the showtunes, those things are just sketchy.

If you run things backwards, and add the right filters, and enough of them, you can find out that we're really in a simulation game in the early stages of development, in which you control a group of little people who are rather stupid. And enjoy Fun.

The internet is notoriously bad for transmitting sarcasm/seriousness, and I am quite bad at figuring out whether thing are meant seriously or not (not notoriously bad yet, though). Still, I'm going to stand by my pointing out of those posts, even if it was just Capntastic messing with people (which is clearly what he's doing now, lending weight to that theory), because it was to prove that I wasn't simply inventing it. And because it still doesn't look like chain-pulling to me (too subtle for my tired mind to grasp, perhaps?).

To say I am capable of lying is unspeakable.
