Kind of like going online, and posting your email address everywhere?

Only if your email takes 40,000 years to get anywhere! :-)

I nominate Martin Sheen & Janeane Garofalo...They're from those parts anyway, so it'll be like a visit home.

Good. I'm not the only prevert that noticed that. :-)

If he was French, both hands would be in the air.

Might be German though, there was thread about Germany insisting that the "standard" EU condom was too large.

You are very naughty. Just because they are instantaneous, doesn't make subspace waves "better". Would you say that a top fuel dragster is better than a minivan? Not unless you live exactly 1/4 mile from the grocery store. It's the same problem with subspace waves - they get there fast but there is no "cargo" space. To host a single porn site you would need to allocate over 42,000 subspace channels. Everyone knows this is why subspace has been a commercial failure from day one.

Au revoir.
