that's what i was thinking. it's an odd little nugget to stumble across anyway, but twice -- i say, i was amazed.

[bretterriffic]

i think this knowledge automatically sets you up to be the life of the party. no doubt about it.

I have an Oscar book in case you ever need more factoids to bring up at parties. That is knowledge and we all know knowledge equals power!

[bretterriffic]

[abinormal]

[bretterriffic]

[violetinsane]
