                    I'm not sure about that. Just took me to something about zombies. Or are you suggesting that to be Bob's fate?

                          I know someone who was on Blockbusters. Don't think he won, which cheered me up as I never did like him.

                                        You should try that in the morning, stick up an old BBC link claiming it is something else and see if it can become one of the top read stories on the BBC website. Then it should be self sustaining for the rest of the day.

                                        Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                                          Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
