At first I thought this was spam, but then I read it and realised it's a legit post.

Thanks for sharing man, rep. Awesome list.

lucido · 06-06-09

The title does look like spam I guess, but I just quoted the title from the person I credited this to, and his title was just the translation of the original

HatesFury · 06-06-09

That's one serious list. I'd say this may be sticky worthy.

slash129 · 06-06-09

+rep for you mister

Sticky, now.

I've added sources at the end of the opening post to clearly show where the information comes from.
