He nearly outranks the next four monks combined. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]

It is possible that vroom is a millionaire. In fact 2/3 of these statements are true.

Post #51,977 by CRConrad 9/16/02 9:38:22 PM Reply	Heck no! Ben sez: It is possible that vroom created the site. It is possible that he gave himself a million point bonus. It is possible that vroom is a millionaire. In fact 2/3 of these statements are true. No no no no -- they're ALL true! Who the F are you to say it isn't true that any one of those circumstances[] is POSSIBLE??? :-) []: "Circumstances" -- hypothetical or not -- like "vroom" having created the site, having given himself a million point bonus, or being a millionaire. The only _statements_ I see are yours, that these circumstances are possibly not hypothetical -- and yes, for all I know, they're surely possible (and thus, your statement true) in all three cases! ;^) Christian R.
