Granted. But you have a million Hong Kong Dollars, which are only worth $128,414.87 USD.
I wish that I owned a spaceship capable of faster-than-light travel. |

11. Why?
That last one makes no sense. There are just so many ... |

Okay, Murphycop, I've been holding back, but now I've had enough. By your standards all of Wrong Planet is a bad idea. After all, there are no forums out there specifically for NTs.
