The story was ok, in my opinion. Nothing wonderful or original, but amusing.

However. The footnotes. They completely ruined the flow of reading. Just when I got started, there was a footnote to distract me and throw me off my reading rhythm. While the data was amusing and did add, in a very slight manner, to the story, it was very poorly executed.
