(upon re-reading that) Frankenstein's Monster Sings Christmas Carols while roasting chesnuts on an open fire, accompanied by Roger Whittaker and Vanilla Ice. Seems about right. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Even then, it only sought revenge against its own creator. Hurt me if you must, but let the duckie go!

Post #267,061 by folkert 9/8/06 4:18:38 PM Reply	No... I was think about the irony of the .... AI thingy and the fact that Abby something trying to sing with grunts and groans and screeches (due to the fire) vs. the Ultimate Evil... Though with Roger Whittaker and Vanilla Ice makes it a trilogy of Evul from teh MOOSic wurld. Sheesh, you really do have to get those neck-bolts adjusted. And soon. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE. Yeah, but 10s of Trillions of US Dollars?
