    It's what you don't see that tells you there's a black hole ;-)

                  Yup, that browser-not-to-be-named only lived for 1 minute on this machine. CP menu was all screwed up and that did for me :-\

                                    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?

                                        Yeah, I was home sick from school that day and saw it happen. Stop the conspiracy crap you are spouting. No one is really interested in some far fetched idea of big money conspiring disasters. That's best left for the Soapbox where the gloves are off.
