Coutsos Identity Crisis

From Compsci.ca Wiki

It is a little known fact, but Coutsos claims that he has a twin. Of course, that's just wacky. It is much more plausible that Coutsos actually has Schizophrenia. There is plenty of evidence for this, but this article will focus on one in particular.

December 12, 2005

On the aforementioned date, Coutsos and several other CompSci.ca members were chatting in the IRC channel, as usual. Coutsos went silent for a bit, and when he came back he sounded different. He sounded gruffer. The new Coutsos claimed that he was in fact the twin of the old Coutsos. What's more, he claimed that he punched the old Coutsos in the face and that there was blood all over the keybaord.

But Coutsos had more tricks up his sleeves. Shortly after the "new" Coutsos showed up, another Coutsos entered the channel. The two versions of Coutsos had some arguments regarding which video card was a better buy. Cervantes noticed that Coutsos was in distress: he was obviously having his most severe identity crisis yet. Cervantes changed his nickname to "Coutsos3", and others followed suit. The better part of the channel became Coutsos, in an attempt to ease the pain of the one true Coutsos.

The channel looked something like this:

• Hacker_Dan
• Ultrahex
• X3
• boo-chan
• Coutsos1
• Coutsos2
• Coutsos3
• Coutsos4
• Coutsos5
• Coutsos6
• Lotho

It should be noted that the reason there were not more versions of Coutsos is merely because boo-chan, Hacker Dan, and Lotho were away at the time.

Theories

So far, there are only a few theories that attempt to explain this phenomenon. The best known is the Array_Theory_of_The_Coutsos_Identity_Crisis.
