I vaguely remember that website but don't think I've read one of its articles before, but that was hilarious. Much of it was true or not far from the truth, or sometimes just ougrageous, making it funny.

The best part to me was the ending explaining the reason spinning helps increase lucidity:

"After having your true desires suppressed by our patriarchal society for so long, and being forced to conform to cruel societal expectations, your new-found ability to freely spin around will overwhelm any other intrusive brain activity. The pure state of ecstatic joy in your brain will be unconquerable. Research has shown that spinning will prolong lucid dreams for 96% of people. It works best to rub your hands together and spin around at the same time. Finally, there's a use for the very actions that got you beat up in high school!"
