Do you think he meant the Camargue?
Wouldn't it be smarter to discuss this "one dumpster" issue with people at your office and potentially have that changed?
I thought Fox was the ultimate source of artificial intelligence...
> A thermite charge big enough to get over the curie point would work just as well.
