Out with the Typex, there are only 8 planets; Pluto is demoted for years of underachievement, poor annual reviews etc.

There is actually a joke floating around the internet, something like ten reasons why he was Hispanic. I'll have to dig it up.

There are some around here that are full of shia, but Dragon Star isn't among them.

If you have time to spare, plasmapheresis (sp?) is more useful. They centrifuge your blood, give you back the red stuff and keep the plasma and various lumpy bits. It takes about 3/4 of an hour and you recover faster since all you have to replace is liquid not cells and liquid. It is possible to hav...

I realised after I posted that was either the straightline to a joke, or close to the truth. I must start using better analogies/examples.

Re: Looking Back Now...

I have seen several anti-cult websites which, after 911, showed clearly that 911 is precisely a cult.
