He must have died while carving it.
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.
So would a powerful electromagnet yeah?
No fair! They changed the outcome by measuring it!
