Notes

Dave Wilson was drafted in the 1981 Supplemental Draft.[2]

gollark: I don't think there's more than one big one.
gollark: There was someone on the esoteric programming languages discord server doing that. I don't know how it's going.
gollark: Let's design an alphabet with an arbitrarily large number of letters so all differences can be defined that way!
gollark: UV is hundreds of THz and up. Radio goes up to... I don't know it's defined exactly, but GHz.
gollark: And UV is a very very different frequency.
