More thoughts to ponder, if a goat falls in the woods and there is no-one there does it still make a sound. Discuss.

No - the goat is considered an invasive species and not subject to any of the normal rules of nature and physics.

But the poor logger doesn't want to be a logger. he wants to be a hair stylist. so he leaves the woods to head to the city where he quickly becomes deemed hero and so tremendously brave. much braver than the mean people in the military who are so cruelly battling those who all they want to attack our country.

and remember kids it is our goverments fault and you should protest until you get your way. And ALWAYS be on alert for those with evil messages like honor thy father and mother, thou shall not steal, though shall not lie and such. don't forget the message that you should love one another. those people must be up to no good and we could never have that message in the school ::) ::) ::)

It seems I am a coarse thread bolt in a world of fine threaded nuts!
