A Swedish logician, philosopher, and computer scientist.
Some of his favorite pastimes include correcting confusions
about Godel's Theorem which are often found on the net,
and, more generally, making a net-nuisance out of himself
by "taking potshots" at people who, "even if by no means a
loon or sectarian, will either fight tooth and nail
to avoid having to admit to any mistake or defect in [their]
reasoning, or else, [their] idea of a good time being as warped as
[his], happily continue arguing just for the sake of argument."
On the former, see

on the latter, see
http://www.sm.luth.se/~torkel/eget/net.html.
These two pastimes can sometimes be indulged simultaneously, such
as can be seen at
GoedelsIncompletenessTheorem.
