    Unless I rode in on a chariot of pegasii (?) or our coach was a Magic School Bus (-the school)

    2008-10-06 19:04:54.0

    Monaco does not start with a "D" either

    2008-10-06 19:05:54.0

    It would look weird if it was spelled "Donaco"

    2008-10-06 19:06:22.0

    it just doesnt work

    Oh, and synth... you so can not speaka my language

    2008-10-06 19:37:29.0

    Well, that part of the point. Making a conversation so meaningless that it make people just shake their head. At least thats what Alexander the Great always said.

    2008-10-06 19:38:45.0

    He stole the quote from me.

    I I do do that that sometimes sometimes,, too!

    2008-10-06 19:52:21.0

    You should learn Klingon to. Far more species speak Klingon than any other lanuage out there
