gollark: Palaiologos is cited on the Mersenne Twister page, I think.
gollark: Why?
gollark: I'm giving people permission to try and gather data on me if they want, on the condition that they tell me while doing so, give me the results of this, and delete any copies they might retain of it without giving them to anyone else. Unfortunately this is pretty unenforceable. I can pay in melons, though.

gollark: I think I've been pretty clear that I'd prefer Nobody to not gather people's datas without asking them *beforehand*, but if he does do that anyway then he should notify people he's doing it.
