Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

Last night we watched:

<=>"It doesn't get any wilder than this."

| Calmos Darn. I've not been able to find a place that sells it on disk. We need something that plays region 2 DVDs. That is something the takes hold in my brain every few years. It's probably why every once in a while I buy a region 2 disc or disc set (Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for instance) Sigh. ... |

I'm more concerned that due to mankind's use of fossil fuels (and other assaults on the biosphere) we may cause a mass extinction that is not a replay of a past mass extinction. There are hints... |
