Which means tracking down driver's abstracts and auto experience letters for the past 6 years.
What are these? :huh:

Driver's abstract - record of any traffic convictions.
Experience letter - record of any insurance claims.

The answer is wrong, because Jedi don't use red lightsabers, only Sith do.

That makes the answer even more right.

Right in that it can't hurt Superman, but wrong in assessing that Jedi have red lightsabers. The "Red Light" bit should have come at the end, "Even with a Sith lightsaber which emits red light ...."

He says that too.

Awesome answer to the lightsaber question.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

In Amerika, I don't think anyone cares about these...the last couple times I switched insurance, they just took my word for it on those matters.

I think in America they just get whatever they want from the state's motor vehicle department themselves; I have switch insurance companies 3-4 times and they always seem to know more about my driving record than me. :ph34r:

It's not as bad as it used to be. I lost track of the whole universe when they started the clusterfuck called, "expanded universe".

Read a couple of the new novels (Thrawn trilogy, Shadows of the Empire, X-Wing), but got bored pretty quickly; they usually worked best when they had characters other than the movies' main cast (as X-Wing did, for example, or some short story collections). Some of the comics weren't too bad, though.

You should read the Republic Commando series by Karen Traviss.  It definitely reawakened my love of Star Wars.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Hey Canadians:

Is it true that in your strange and wondrous land people call the act of farting "cracking the cheese?"
