oh, the significance of the number 42 goes far, far beyond the scope of the llounge. it's even bigger than all of mobileread ! (i know, you didn't think such a thing was possible, did you ?). perhaps this will help to enlighten you.

My vote goes to to keep the Toaster Oven scandal under the wraps.

Yes, there's a toaster under there. Some people think that a toaster clutters up the counter so they cover it up with some homemade clutter.

WDE.

hm. since my own are at this point in time thoroughly hypothetical, it's quite possible you're right. and since i see no easy way of verifying this theory, i'll just accept your hypothesis. and of course, i would never want to deprive a mother of children which are rightfully her own and therefore belong by her side !

oh, sheesh, how careless of me, you have my apologies !! the correct address should read :

Meteorite XBDL9-X-99K11-3

Constellation Coma Berenices

one experience does not a proverb make, pev. or, as we like to say proverbially, "one swallow* does not a springtime make."

*in the ornithological sense. it's more obvious in french.
