Hold your breath, wait for an hour or two, and see if it's still true ... we have been here before.

But if it's true ... :toot:

Don't believe everything that happens. :prof:

...and the world loses one more snappy dresser.

:sigh:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

No wonder we can't decide if he's alive or dead, we can't even figure out how to spell his fucking name! :hehe:

Looks like it's becoming a bit more solid, captured and died of injuries.
