heh. it was kinda an i like your site comment without being as boring as to say that. So i sort-of said, i would spend my extra fifty three minutes at your site.

This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need of anything to drink.

"Why are you selling those?" asked the little prince.

"Because they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant. "Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week."

"And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?"

"Anything you like . . ."

"As for me," said the little prince to himself, "if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water."

I'll trade you my copy for yours.

After taking two weak years of high school French I bought myself a copy of the book in the original language, and subsequently forgot ALL of the goddamn language by the time I got around to reading it.

mine is borrowed from the library, but at least you have the good illustrations, mine are all in black and white because they sent the paperback.

id like to go star counting with you. its difficult to find interesting people here.
it would have to be in oregon, or the midwest. The stars are best there.... i used to be able to see sattellites moving in those skies.
