My name is Mike and I’m currently a first year media student at Bath Spa University in England. I love your blog because I love facts and trivia and just generally learning about things. Also very partial to a cheeky caption competition or two!

Cheers for much entertainment over the last few years.

Yup, CD Key! People would always say my last name like Siddiqueeee or Sid Dicky. So, finally I realized the similarity in saying my name and CDKey were perfect!

Oh, and boy did you give it away with Neatoramanauts!

I’m a 24 year old “professional” from Austin, Tx. Only a semester of college to speak of but I’ve managed to land an awesome job at an awesome place: Apple Inc. Life is good.

Love the site!

Thanks for showing me what a strange and wonderful world I live in. Each and every day

Terry

I’m Melissa, 25, in Chicago. I bartend, while I’m trying to figure out if I’m really ever going to use my journalism degree or if I want to become a geologist. I’m watching the superbowl with my neatorama on my lap right now. Also, it is overheating and keeping me warm. I’ve been lurkin around for probably two years. Yesterday, when I waited outside for 9 hours to try out for American Gladiators and came home sick as a dog, was the first day in 2 years I failed to stop by ( I missed ya ) Thanks for all the fun!

Maybe one day I’ll get this many comments on a post of mine.
I guess first I should wish for one comment, haha!

Keep up the amazing work.

oh, who am i? my name is paul and although i no longer like my username, i have used it for so many things that i am kind of stuck with it. i live in the south of england and i’m 23. that’s your lot

I’m your number 1 lurker … just can’t get enough neatorama.

there should be a medical term for my addiction to your site
keep it coming

I like fuzzy socks. If there were socks with the Neat-o-rama logo I would totally buy them, ’cause Neat-o-rama rocks my socks. Alex– thanks for the great work! I never would have guessed English was a second language. Kinda like the guy who wrote Heart of Darkness. <– Random.

Danka.

I’m really into social media!
Neatorama kicks ass

im a lurker, i guess, im from philly and my brother showed me this site on an article about animals, dont remember what it was. but now im hooked and you guys make me so happy :]

@Ashley: I’m still reading – actually I read pretty much all of the comments on Neatorama (on posts that I author anyhow, the website sends those to me automatically). I know what you mean about arguing without thinking.

@Arielle: congratulations!

Ni hao, Jim! Wo shi lao zhong.

@Sandra: gasp! You HAVE to teach me how to use my brainwave to tell my kids to sleep!

@VonSkippy! LOL – y’know Skippy peanut butter *is* my favorite, and if you do work in a bread factory (somehow I don’t believe it), then what a coincidence that is.

@sketch: well, congrats! Graham is actually Zachary’s middle name. A little known trivia: both of my kids are named for my favorite cookies.

@Tarah Leigh: please don’t force the site down people’s throat. Neatorama is better suited for sipping. Like fine wine. Or a Colt 45 double malt.

@dw: I’ve been called many names, but “invisible host” has an excellent ring to it.

@k_sra: My mother tongue is Indonesian. But I speak that as badly as I do English.

@G: Belly dancer? That’s as exotic as Cissy Strutt working as an opera librettist!

@rachel-elizabeth: sorry to hear that Neatorama’s blocked from your high school, but you shouldn’t be browsing in school anyways, right?

@andrewstewart20: sorry to hear about your job! I’m glad that you’re still sticking around to read this blog Maybe you can do this instead with a bic pen.

@Kieran: Conas ata tu, too!

@Noran: I remember you – great baby care tips, btw. Thank you for them!

@Ali S: CD Key, right Oooh, did I give that away with the Neatoramanauts thingy?

@Christophe: Hey, my friend has always wanted to do a little hardware shop! We’ve been talking about opening one when we both retire. How’s business?

@Sanktum: I don’t know how well Neatorama would do on the small screen of a cell phone, but try this FeedM8 RSS reader (I don’t know if it works well, my cell phone is hopelessly behind in technology and can’t even keep a call goin’ much less browse the web.)

And for all of you who’ve been hiding Neatorama as the source of your trivia to impress friends and family, fess up and spread the joy of Neatorama everywhere. Or not. But if you do, you have my thanks!

@Fran: I can only say that I work for the government. Hmmmm…… interesting ……

@Veronica: Thanks! I’ve been wanting to do a post like this. I’m glad I’ve finally worked up the nerve to do it – it’s great to hear from everyone!

@Manik: I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia and so my native tongue is Indonesian. I moved to the United States when I was 13, so my grasp of English is actually better. Oh, and I drink tea.

@Corvus: tularemia? Thank God for streptomycin! TB is tougher, let’s hope you never get that, especially the MDR-TB

@Cobweb: hey, I actually know two other people who “met” on teh Interweb!

@ruby: I’m going to keep the idea of that contest away from my little children as they grow up. We see the doctor enough as it is with daycare and all.

@Broken5hift: I <3 Japanprobe! I think we’ve posted a number of things from them.

@Sharons7th: NSA? National Scrabble Association or the um, more obvious entity. Nevermind! I know you can’t tell us anyways. So, um, these “musicians”… so that’s what you guys call ‘em nowadays.

@Megan: THANK YOU for introducing me to Regina Spektor. I’ve been listening to her while writing my replies to these comments.

@Eileen Cook: Congrats on your first book! When you’re a famous author, don’t forget about us…

@Johnny Cat: a realtor that is busy? You guys must know a secret or something! And Yes! I LOVE exclamation marks! They’re the best punctuation mark there is!

@takhys: thank you for The Happiness of the Katakuris – we’ll have that as a Neatorama post shortly.

@Myleti: you read the ENTIRE Neatorama? Really? Wow!

@cuimhne: Ah, so that’s how you pronounce it! and I did read it just as “cuim-hee”

@Rick in SF: well, apparently the definition of “lurk” has made it to the American Heritage Dictionaries: 4. To read but not contribute to the discussion in a newsgroup, chatroom, or other online forum. But yes, it does sound dirty!
