*totally off topic* nice dancing r2d2 nico

i visited the link and among other things they told me:

You are aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd! Your ISP is nextgentel.com!
You are running on Windows 2000 and using Mozilla/Netscape 5!
You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson.

i found that kinda funny, and slightly creepy as it's not displayed as text (it's a trick but i don't know how the specifics of how they made it seem like nothing, not even a gif) - what do others get?

*back to topic* btw if california does as suggested then Arnold the Gubinator becomes president/head honcho/pirate captain... (other titles may apply)

*back to yet another topic* since i'm a total loser i love the "chased-off-a-cliff-by-a-female-naked-rugby-team-choice-of-death-sketch" in the meaning of life

I'll look out for it, I only just heard about it the other day.

Didn't Douglas Adams have a computer game "Starship Titanic" I would love to get my hands on that. He alos did anthe HHGTTG adventure game with Infogrames, I got it somewhere on one of my computers lol (5 working currently).

the plan was to simultaniously release the titanic game and book at the same time but douglas adams only had enough time for 1 so he chose the game and asked terry brooks to write the book

I doubt that. He will probably die in the earthquake. Although a new person will be elected as president of 'The Republic of California'.

yeah he can't be president unless they make an amendment or something
you got to be a american born citizen to be pres

i'm no legal expert or anything (as if anybody thought that lol)

but i've heard that the law says someone has to have been an american citizen for 25 years to be president (rather than born in america)

not sure how true it is - maybe some of you know?

(was kerry born in america? didn't he go to school in europe a lot?)

unfortunately no that isnt the case, you have to be born in america to be the pres, the 25 year rule is for regular politicians. you also have to be 35+ to be the pres

WTG rudeboy!

Unfortunately Arnold wasn't born in the United States of America. Besides.. He will probably die in the earthquake. So don't worry. Kerry will probably be shot before he makes it to the inuaguration. SO don't worry about him either.
BTW- I have the HHGTTG soundtrack.

thanks for setting the facts straight rudeboy

*expects to see a "seninator" [sic] about the time terminator 15 is released* lol
