                                        Apparently you did not read the report on the Challenger disaster. It was found that the people with the purse strings ignored the scientists who said the rings would fail in the cold weather; this information was suppressed by their supervisors. And as far as the senseless babbling, I know my facts. Do you?

                                          Makes sense. Bullshit has no matter, therefore doesn't get sucked in :laugh: So, give the universe enough time to get sucked in by blackholes and all that's left is b.s. :sigh:
