Humour

This fledgeling page may never get to be very large. Ah well. And the people and orgs featured here may never achieve stardom, indeed may never even achieve reality, doomed to eternal fictiety. 
If any of them turns out to be the next Avatar or Messiah – but please don't hold your breath – let me know (Feedback).
