It's funny that "The National Association of Staredown Professionals" mentioned at the bottom of the article is a real organization. I wonder what their meetings are like?
Oh gosh. I searched for it on wikipedia and when it wasn't found I thought: "Yeah, I should have known that it's a joke". I should really get out of this "If it's not on wikipedia, it doesn't exist" mindset. I should at least make a google search next time...
