Ion propulsion systems under development at NASA accelerate slower than an average automobile, but can reach top speeds over half the speed of light on long trips.

Beware of the Rancor. I'm not kidding.
If it doesn't compile, try saying "By the power of MegaMan!!!" <this has kinda worked for me, actually...>
Scotland is NOT North Britain, Glasgow does NOT rhyme with "cow", and Robbie Burns is...well, if you don't already know who he was, you're kinda screwed.

The U.S. federal government has spent nearly 3 times more on Agent Orange litigation and medical payments to veterans than had been spent on the entire Vietnam War.

That works out to about $399 billion going on the estimated cost of $133 billion for the Vietnam war. I don't think so!!!!
With 2,594,000 Actually served in-country 1964 - 1973 that is $153,816.50 each if every one got payment.

"Natural Gas" that is delivered to homes and businesses has 27 different additives that do not occur naturally.
Never argue with idiots, they'll just bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

The war between England and Zanzibar in 1896 was the shortest war ever.
