    Got to love paranoid michael and his lamebrained conclusion-jumping.

    And here is another example of a familiar word which has changed its meaning completely - what would an early twentieth century mother have thought if you told her that her grandchildren would be spending most of their waking hours - at work and at play - fondling CmdrTaco's cock and balls or eating out Hemos' asshole?

    Nice one!

    What happened to the reports that he'd abused children over a 20 year period which were printed in the UK press 2 or 3 years ago? Did that result in either prosecution or libel?

    Beck's song gets the "New Pollution" about right. What about fake-named MP3s of Reproachful Madonna? Transgenic mutations slipping that flounder antifreeze gene from tomatoes to icecream barns? Virus in your kernel? WiFi in your Bluetooth? What kind of Superfund sites are we looking for when we dwell mostly in an infosphere dumping ground?

    Re:Didn't Arthur C Clarke go loopy?

    Okay, Okay I know this may seem like trolling, but I assure you it's not. Arthur C. Clarke is currently living in Sri Lanka. Why? Because he apparently likes having sex with young boys and in Sri Lanka there's nothing in the law there to stop one from doing this. Again, this is not a troll, but a fact. And I would be highly suspect of anything such a deviant as this might say.

    Are you suggesting that he invite Michael Jackson to live there?
