Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! I think you have cracked the Google algorithm.

I now retract what I said earlier. I looked at your photo, Alex, and it was 
EXACTLY how I have pictured you in my mind's eye for all these years. The 
resemblance is so uncanny that I have converted to Yogacara (the real 
idealistic kind, not the revised phenomenalist version that Lusthaus has been 
peddling). Indeed, so convinced am I that everyone is a figment of my 
imagination I have become a solipsist.

I must stop talking to myself, lest all those figments of my wild imagination 
think I am crazy. (Little do they know, if I'm crazy, so are they.)
