Not unless everyone in this forum looses their brains (I discount the fundies
among us who have already sold theirs for a handfull of beans.)

I wouldn't.  Be a good Jew?  No way.

? Huh ?  <laugh>  Is this an explanation for why there are so many shoes seen
along the highways?  <laugh>  Dope Fish move over.

What do these people think they're doing when they refuse to provide any
evidence for their claims?  They must know the better educated won't swallow
it.

The only rational explanation is that they _want_ to get beaten over the head
for professing occult beliefs.

Cool.  I'm saving it to disk as well.
