How Did Adam Weber Do That?
By Mike Gallagher Unlike The Question Mark shown above, I believe I do have the answer. Adam Weber must be a loyal reader of my articles, and the one last week must’ve be so enraging that he set out to prove me wrong. But seriously, on first glance, doesn’t that seem like the only possible explanation? Well, as much as I wish that were true, I’m not that delusional.
