That is interesting, yeah.  I do believe most of his early converts came from New York and Pennsylvania.

Oh yeah. The golden plates were from a hill just south of Rochester IIRC. I forgot about that.

It's true.  I only understand about half of what Meri says.

You'll understand more when you grow up a little, honey. Bless your heart. :)

LIES!!!!

How the hell would you know? We're still waiting on you to grow up, too!

How much bigger do you want Katmai to get?!  :huh:

Just read where Rob Schneider changed his affiliation from Democrat to Republican.  This could have huuuge implications for the 2014 mid-terms :D

I just nearly wrote, "One the other hand..." in an article about triple amputees...

Would you please do it anyway?  That would make me so hawt.

This is again one of those situations where one shouldn't confuse state politics with federal politics, deliberately or not.  Democrats are not exception to the rule that political hegemony is bad policy, and California is one of those examples.  It's a shame that these days it seems like the only other alternative is a party that could at the very best be termed as reactionary.

Was probably the new Languish server.

QuoteA delivery worker from Baltimore was killed in a bizarre accident in Delaware on Monday when a package he was unloading fell and crushed him.
On Tuesday, Delaware State Police identified the man as Melvin E. Johnson Jr., 43.
State Police said the man was unloading a large piece of computer equipment to be delivered to an office building in North Wilmington on Monday at about 11 a.m.
As the man placed the equipment onto a truck lift, he somehow fell to the ground, then the equipment fell on him, crushing him. State police said he was pronounced dead on the scene.
There were no signs of foul play, and more details were unavailable Monday night.
