We need more taxes! BUSH’S FAULT!
The Sun’s constant output is about 100 billion one-megaton hydrogen bombs per second.
Do I detect a bit of sensationalism?

“Women and minorities hardest hit!”
You stole my line. LOLOL!
yup
Except for the part that we would not know the day and time, right?
You left out George Bush.
Oh, I hate that ten days bullcrap. HSBC did it to me too. I’m getting rid of that one as we speak.
To me? its an interesting thing. We have three or four cultures saying similar things and then there are the Mayans. Then with this , it kinda reconciles, doesnt it?
30 massages per day? That's equal to the release of 15 second chakras!
