e.) and gulp handfulls of sugarpills

f.) (insert other hokey bunch of jackalope crap here)

If so, well.... good luck with that.

Thanks folks! I now have the objective answer to that age old question: For love or money?

Looks like Money is the only rational choice available!

Fight hard FowlSound...you are a fine example of the courage necessary to adhere to rationality in the face of mortality. Carl Sagan is one of my heros; but not just because of the way he lived; the way he faced death was even more impressive.

You OTOH are expected at TAM5. No excuses man.
