That sounds like good news. I was amused by this line: On Wed, Apr 02, 2003 at 07:15:27AM -0800, J.D. Giorgis wrote:

Maybe it went something like this: "Let's go run over a statue, yahoo! .... wait a minute, where's the statue, George, do you see the statue?" "No, I can't see it, maybe you should call Jim" "Okay....Jim, it's George, where's this statue we are supposed to run over?" "Isn't it up ahead?" "I can't see it" "Oh, it must be on Saddam DRIVE not Saddam Road. That's a few streets over" "Really? Well, I don't think we can get our tank over there without running over some houses. Let's just stop the tanks and send someone over to deface the statue. You know, break off the mustache, glue a centimeter peter onto him, that sort of thing" "Sounds like a plan." -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
