        though some of them were more colleagues than friends. -- nm - mafic Oct 22, 06:43
    - just over 10% more friends than a short ton! -- nm - mafic Oct 22, 06:35 2

        about 1.5% fewer friends. -- nm - mafic Oct 22, 06:39

Because, ironically, they DON'T know how to rock. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 06:27
are you kidding? they love them because it's an easy way to introduce exotic settings, plus valuable gems are really good maguffins -- nm - zork Oct 22, 06:25
They've known a few. (nm) - Will Hunting Oct 22, 06:24
because they figure geologists are too lame to send hate mail? -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 06:23
make it into a POLL and get 10K dammit -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 06:23
