Are you a Neal Stephenson fan, by any chance?

I think that I would first need to have heard of the author before and to have read some of his works before I could be considered a fan. . .

This Is the book we’re referring to, where (one of the) mob (-like factions) is called Cosa Nostra Pizza.  Hiro Protagonist (aptly named, really) works for them at the beginning of the book.

I refer to this Penny Arcade strip:

(Assassin’s Creed 2 takes place in renaissance Italy, with apparently much Italian spoken…)

1: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it does what it says, you should have no problem with this.
2: What proof will you accept that you are wrong? You ask us to change our mind, but we cannot change yours?
3: It is not our responsability to disprove your claims, but rather your responsability to prove them.
4. Personal testamonials are not proof.

What part of ‘meow’ don’t you understand?
