I think men will get there someday (USA alone or jointly with others), but I think that's still out another 15-20 years. We have to go, as it's still the ultimate pursuit of knowledge and the expansion of technology..

He was using Gibbs

But the search for Saddam's "WMDs" must go on, right? After all, per public & neocon policy, they must be somewhere .....

Where else might the candy bars be from?

Yeah....If only I could be president the world would be so much better off. Yeah.......only if SolidWorks would let me write their code we would all be so much happier. Yeah.......If I would of had my first cup I probably would not have replied to a stupid post like this.
