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.

Oh, yeah, there is that.  Though the way he went and went and went in 
Aladdin was apparently very entertaining.
