I have tried using the Britannica site a few times in the past, and I just tried again now. It isn't very good, is it?

Ehman of SETI, scribbled in the margin of the print out, and while it has never been detected since, it has fueled arguments on both sides as to the existence of extraterrestrial life ever since."

if I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save every day 'til eternity passes away

if I could make days last forever
if words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
again I would spend them with you

funny how people open their mouth without thinking/reading/informing themselves
funny how people just "assume" things
funny how people always asume there is a fire when they see smoke
as long as u havent actually *seen* a fire, there is NO fire, just the potential of one.
now, me, i like playing devils advocate
