Not so much following it as trying to skip over it. ;-)
I have no opinion on the subject at hand.

The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.

Awwe, I quite enjoyed his posts wondering about things. It brought out
some very interesting discussions and topics at times.

Yeah, I ended up downloading them myself, which I had forgotten. They
might've been on my crashed hard drive.
The problem with having large hard drives is remembering what's actually
on them and where it is.

Heh, I didn't even take Biology in high school - I did well in chem
there, but when it came time to play at college, I bombed miserably. 10
credit hours (had to take it twice) and couldn't wrap my head around
chemical balancing equations and organic chem. The first, I think, was
the prof's fault - stupid me, I took the class twice with him.
