    Uh, minutes is a valid measurement of distance. Its used in measuring fractions of a degree on the surface of the globe... so may I be the first to say that you have one hell of a huge closet.

    w00t negative moderation!!! Yay! I only get negative mods from redundancy though... which is funny b/c when you are in the top 15-20 posts you really have no idea that you are posting a redundant message, since the other people posting a similar message have not done so when you originally began your post. A strange quirk of the moderation system. Sweet, maybe I'll get off-topic on this one too.
