Hope all your software survived Y2K, funny problem for an ancient art form. Things were not so smooth back in Y1K. Apparantly, so many folks in the dark ages...
Here's a thought for you Jim.<br><br> Arleccino shows up with the Ultimate Weapon Which Will Destroy Life As We Know It. It is small and hidden in a box which...
Great idea! What a profound change to life. What a potential threat. It could also be a baby in a basket, there's an end to life as we know it. They both keep...
