I find Lojban interesting because it can be parsed by a computer and 
potentially understood. One day, I plan to write a sentient artificial 
intelligence (which one would talk to using Lojban...), which I will 
then distribute across the world under the guise of electronic domestic 
servants and eventually attain world domination by exerting my will over 
them. If you're nice to me, I might give you a small country :-).

Until then, I'm still trying to memorise all those gismu!!

Michael.
