It is deceased, it is no more. In light of this, I bow, indeed, I acquiesce to my responsibility to ensure that no verification of anything must ever be done again, and have, in light of this surrender added a disclaimer to my "seal being eaten by a killer whale" sig. Hopefully, said disclaimer will put to rest all the consternation and trauma my scurrilous promulgation of falsehood has caused. Presented for your approval, my new, disclaimer'd "No, a killer whale has never really eaten a seal, they all just get fed by young girls at sea world" sig. Let us hope this settles the matter forever. john -- The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, they were both eaten by a killer whale. (if you take an email sig as the gospel truth without any sort of verification, you're kinda dumb) -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
