I predict the cause will never be released and the rumors will spread for generations (short, violent generations)

Didn't France invent the diagnosis of AIDS? Or claim to?

Ioan Pacepa gave us the preview of this historical document
He was on the same watermelon diet as Liberace. "oogah! Allahu Fubar!"
Today's Phila. STinquirer had an article that said he had cirrhosis of the liver, but that he was a big "water drinker", not an alcohlic...
What would he do with 72 virgins? I thought he was a homo!
In his case, it's 72 Virginians -- a bunch of 'mos who look like James Drury.
Did they put a webcam in there like "seemerot.com"
