    A new upward sloping tunnel would take water away from the vault.

    The downside is that you have to enter from Australia.

  13. My kid brother was really into those. I used to tease him by asking what time BlueKnightHawkWolfRacerTeam was on. They were all basically the same story, but with different vehicles.

  14. Re:Don't do the crime, you won't have to do the ti on FCC Can't Cap the Cost of Cross-State Prison Phone Calls, Court Rules (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You mean "if you ain't got the dimes, don't do the crimes"?

  16. But wouldn't someone who can actually write have mentioned his name? You know, like the BBC did.

    So you're saying it's a matter of quantity, since the real difference is that a larger ratio of Muslims think gays should be killed than Christians who think that

    Yes. A difference of degree is still a difference.
