: Dudley Henriques writes: Terry is another matter, but as for your analogy, you are incorrect. There most certainly are old bold pilots. The trick in flying isn't the avoidance of bold action, in fact the reverse is true. The trick is in knowing when to be bold and when not to be. Those who know the difference are the ones who become "old, bold pilots". I didn't invent the saying. And yet, without any experience whatsoeve, you repeat it. Bertie |

He could live through it and come back here. Bertie |

You don't think that Anthony's are the two particles that theyy're going to try to rip a hole in space/time with in that Larg Hadron Collider this year? "Dogs and cats sleeping together. MASS HYSTERIA!" Mxsmaniac is a 30-foot twinkie. I know this reference form somewhere, but can;'t place it. It could only be KV2, though. Bertie I think he's already got a ripped hole. Yeah, curious to see if the universe turns inside out. There was a decent sci-fi novel based on this experiment a few years ago but can't remember the name. The quotes are from Ghostbusters. "She barks, she drools, she sleeps above the covers....four FEET above the covers". |
