Vote for my brother in 2020. He's running on the platform of taking the moon back from the Chinese, because that's our moon, dammit. And he promises on dealing with the killer robot problem, too.

What are his other platform ideas? Does he think we'll still be in Iraq? :p

I think the killer robots are of more importance, because they've been programmed with super-human intelligence.

Yes...but do they have the CUNNING of human beings?

Remember Blade Runner? Was Decker an android or human?

BTW...I love office space and your little icon always makes me smile when I see it (FLAIR!) (y)

It's something worth aspiring to, in my opinion.

I've always dreamed of space flight, since being a young child, and it seems to be finally coming close to fruition in reality.

What a blast it would be to make the trip, especially when the prices come down in 20 years or so....

He's terp alumni, yes. Graduated Phi Beta Kappa from their Environmental Science and Policy program.

Vote for him. (y)

Yes, the project I'm on here has finally come to an end, after 4 glorious, all-expenses-paid years :(

Back to the land of bad food, expensive everything and grumpy commuters!

At least now the pubs stay open after 11!

Good deal, man.

Hope you enjoy your homecoming and work towards what you believe in there in England - maybe you can help Blair to NOT be reelected and get a good, solid Socialist in power.....perhaps you and Ace could jointly run for office and institue some REAL changes.....game?
