@bobella is owltastic!: While I agree with you, I have to point out that all lowering the drinking age to 18 does is push the experimental drinking age lower.

@blatanville: Man, this is gonna drive me crazy. Wikipedia got nothin'

@blatanville: Is that the same story where the group of climbers summit Olympus Mons? It's been awhile since I read The Martians .

@Lassus:

Having lived through a Hep A infection, and all the wonders that came along with it. All I can say is I wish Hepatitis had been strangled in it's crib lo those many years ago.

Almost choked on my Iced Tea after seeing the Klingon chick.

@PunditGuy: and BSG later ripped it off with "Scar"

@bookwench: I know exactly what you mean. I live in Rural Wyoming on the edge of the mountains.

Whoever did the caption translation was a little off I think.

A bit off topic but the picture caught me off guard
