Hello! I'm Taylor, but you can call me Gompers (everyone does anyway). I go to UT Austin for computer science. I'm 20, which is the oldest I've ever been. I live on the internet, so if you want to contact me, you've got lots of options.

  1. 'Biggest drawing in world' revealed as hoax

    joelaz:

    I got punk’d. I was wondering how he convinced the DHL pilots to make loops over the ocean for the guy’s hair in the drawing.

    Did people actually think this was real? Look at the instructions he supposedly gave DHL. No shipping company would honor those (or any specific requests, for that matter).

    I saw this come up on Neatorama, swissmiss, NOTCOT, and lots of Tumblrs, but I thought people were just enjoying the line drawing. How could this possibly be real, considering what actual flight paths look like?

    I think this is just people re-blogging or -posting something that looks interesting if you just give it a cursory glance. Then they regurgitate the information presented. Nothing really added. My philosophy is this: if you want to re-blog something, but don’t have anything to add, don’t.
