      If you were crazy wealthy which would you do? a) Buy a gold plated yacht[^] b) Hire a construction crew to dig your name into the sand of your private beach so that it's visible from space[^]

          Which one? There were two Erikas [at the same time] that I dated. I referred to them as Little Erika and Big Erika. Guess who had the hooters?

                Google images, safe search off, Big Erika and Little Erika could not possible yield more different responses. I can only conclude that Big Erika was filth.

                                        I’ll spend every penny in research labs for: 0. More efficient nuclear reactors or even better Thorium reactors or fusion based such. 1. More efficient batteries. 2. Space engines based on plasma/fusion materials not the current unusable for space exploration/mining chemical rockets. 3. New foods. 4. Will buy the old Privateer franchise and will create Privateer III super game hybrid between Privateer and Mass Effect. 5. Medical researches. 6. Extremely efficient and fast trains and catamaran passengers super ships. 7. Babes. 8. Babes. 9. Women. The last three are going to be a personal research projects – highly funded.

                                        If you just put babes then I would be Okay with this. However, you put babes and women, so I have to ask, what do you mean by "babes"? ;)

                                          She's Big Erika[^] to her friends and IIRC her eyes where huge. To be honest, I didn't spend a lot of time looking at her eyes. :-D
