LOL, I was talking about Federal Service too, not Federal Servitude.

Nothing like being stationed in the Fulda Gap in winter, can't say that I recommend it.

Unless of course, if we by then have succeded in our dastardly plan for world domination. And start to adding a new month every year starting in 2013 by adding Tredecimber to the calender, and then take it from there.

Is there any way we can make the world end sooner, say, tomorrow? I'm kinda anxious to see all the pretty lights and such.

Here in La Crosse, there was a little boy born at 9:09 AM who weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces. For some reason, the parents failed to name him either Neener or Niner.
