Hello

Hi. This is testy. Today has been a rough day. jordan's been running me a billion times per second, and kept on messing with my internals. Arrrg! I just wish he would leave me be already. However, I am happy that he made me all pretty and smooth by using urllib.urlencode() instead of using a stupid string hack. Anyways, later.
