Wow! Very interesting!

 

[Martin]

wow. That IS pretty damn ironic.

What's even more ironic is that sept 11th was the UN international day of Peace.

Interesting stuff.

There are only so many days in a year, coincidence is interesting but that is all I would say any of it is. It's fun to read of the coincidences, but does anyone really think that they mean anything?


What is really interesting to me is how many threads can Yakko nef in before a mod stops it.
