Watch him go... there is Carloooooos, the man infront of all the others. He is WAY ahead, and he is gaining more and more speed. He is an adult, and he is sooooooo adult that he can't even take a laugh... see him run from the humor! Faster and faster he runs... and there it is: the goal: an open casket for the people going through life without having a good laugh every now and then :o)))) Aaaaaaanyhow... *grabs his coffee and keeps working while shaking his head because of the stupid comment posted by Carlos* Cheers :o)))) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
