if kona is wrong he dies losing nothing. if grayhaze is wrong he dies losing everything forever. this doesn't seem like an even bet! people who evidence such faith in God that it appears to be total or "blind" generally did not become that way by leaping blindly off a cliff. they applied faith in ever larger increments in reponse to ever larger challenges over time, and saw for themselves the incre

in Texas - old trustworthy remington in Bangkok - german boker straight razor. for some reason the electrics give me a rash if i shave with them in thailand. it's damned near as hot and humid in houston so i don't know what the difference is. the straight razor ( 7" blade ) also works wonders at deterring would-be attackers, who probably would not be equally intimidated by my remington shav

why is schedule "shedule" when school isn't "shool"?? the archer carried his bow made from a sturdy bough up to the bow of the boat. as to the comment that english is easier for germanic language types - if you with a germanic family language started have, then the learning of english in short order undoubtedly very simple will prove. <img src="http://images.stardock.c

29.34% more normal than i thought. my wife says that anyone who can work 18 hours straight on a computer, come home, and rush to go get on the home computer for several hours is a geek, no matter what that test says.
