        Right, and I've even had some of them, but that made sense (at least somewhat). Is BURNN8 supposed to be "Burn and ate", "Burnin' 8", "Burning", or "Burn in 8"?

          Burninate as in burninate the countryside, burninate the villagers. I was kind of iffy on the faith life interpretation, but so many others here saw it the same way, even that Matthew Faithfull guy managed to figure it out.

                    I think Faith Life is probably the right interpretation. There is a house on one of my walking routes that has a SAURON license plate. Every time I walk past it I imagine the driver being something like the comic book guy dressed in a black cape, but in the 2 years I've been walking past the house I still haven't seen him.

                        I tried that once and woke up 3 weeks later in a cave chanting my precious. I'm not making that mistake again. I have a strange feeling he was the first one in line at this event: eye over Austin[^].

                        Video artist Luke Savisky has been commissioned to create a piece called The "I" of TX, to be projected on the Second Street water tower. Using a high-powered projector, Savisky will operate a live camera feed at San Antonio Street. Volunteers will sit at the camera and have their eyeball portrayed up on the water tower for all to see. Savisky is able to highlight a key architectural element – a water tower – and transform it with video. It's great to see this big festival support his installation work.

                                        I know I'll get flamed for this, but I always thought the writing in the LOTR was horrible. I loved the stories, but I hated the writing. [edit] yes I realize this was a line from the movie, not necessarily the book, but my statement still stands. [/edit]


                                        I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon

                                          If you spot a car on the highway sporting plates that read: ML8ML8... What color is the car? Model? :rolleyes:
