On my browser (firefox/osx) there were five boxes of weird unknown unicode characters. I cleared them out of the post.

Yeah, I saw it, and I too was shocked that someone would mention Ed Shaughnessy in the same breath as Elvin Jones. Shocked!

Yeah, well, there's definitely some weird characters on MetaFilter from time to time.

We are weird.
We are unknown.
But we are definitely NOT unicode.

Heh, you checked out humannaire's profile. Wait...are you actually humannaire? Why did you check yourself out?

It's cuz you're using Ubuntu. Ubuntu hates us.

I couldn't at first (also Firefox on Ubuntu-feisty), but thanks to the handy .png image you have uploaded, I think I have had a clear view of the situation now. Great work, quonsar.
