    Ugh! X| What a retarded bunch of crap. It's sad to see the world's leaders resort to childish name-calling like a bunch of damn 9 year old kids. What's next? Croissants are now Freedom Biscuits? Perrier is now Justice Water? au Juis sauce is now Liberty Sandwich Dip? Hey baby, wanna Independence kiss? I wonder which side of the lunchroom the cool senators sit on? -- Russell Morris "Have you gone mad Frink? Put down that science pole!"

      Nope. Fries are awful no matter what they're called. If you're ever in the UK any chippie could beat them hands down. ;) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

Also, have you looked into what the guys who developed [SharpDevelop](http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/SharpDevelop did) did? On a quick glance it looks like they treat everything as service and load it as needed. The word abbreviation is awfully long for what it means.

            The French Embassy in Washington had no immediate comment, except to say that french fries actually come from Belgium.

                    I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean,when you're going up against a crazed dictator,you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than 2 years before you guys pitched in against Hitler,but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons
