hey,
Yeah, someone already suggested I change the name, and I thought it
wouldn't be needed. Anyway, since you're the second person to point this
out, I think I'd better rename it (more people might suggest the same
thing later).
Ideas please list members?
Why I had chosen "Loki" : He was a Norse God who is well known as a
prankster. He loved to make jokes etc. The app tells you about comics
such as xkcd which are also centred around humour.
I'd love to hear suggestions from you folks.
