When I saw dis Velikovsky guy on the internet I said to myself... "ON MY GAWD, DIS Physfitfreak IS FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD ALSO????" IS EVERYONE RETARDED HERE??? I was right, you guys are a mistake of Nature! You'res nots supposes to be heres ons earth. Somehows yous gots throughs bys mistake. Albert Einstein was a mistake, right? 1 in a trillion... It explains why Nature is always trying to get rid of these mistakes.... if there are 6 million mistakes, nature sends somebody to fix the mistake. Albert Einstein escaped Germany... he foresaw the virus going to eat him up. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
