    "so can we PLEASE try to keep this from turning into the usual religeon flamewar?"

    Sure, but first let me trade your extraneous letter 'e' for an 'i'. I.e. religion, not religeon (like pigeon?).

    Dude--it's called a bunker. Fight with your drones/probes if you have to. One zealot and two probes can handle a 4-pool rush (and leave you in a much better position). One marine, one bunker, and one probe (maybe two if they're smart--usually not) can handle it even better.

    Although people whine about rushing in Starcraft, it's actually such an easy strategy to defend, and so hard to recover from if it fails, that most experts won't even attempt it if they know they're playing someone equi-decent.

    Err, you're the one who didn't get it; It's called "humor" on this planet. You won't think its funny though, rather like any non-liberal reading Doonesbury.

    "Monkey" isn't an accurate description in either case though; Bush looks more like a chimpanzee, while Kerry looks like an ape or wookie.

    Yeah, I've been watching it on CN too. At first, I was curious because of the title, and then I started to wonder how serious it would be since Funimation (a la Dragonball Z) was distributing it stateside. Then I saw the episode with the chimera, and it hit me when I realized/they said how the guy created the chimera that this anime was actually fairly hardcore in a way.

    Now it's on my PVR's record list.
