@Ndege - This sounds like the beginning of a beautiful existential discussion, the likes of which I am ill-equipped to handle #why Sat Sep 04 01:48:33 +0000 2010
@Ndege - Poor @JosephLane is always the butt of jokes, especially random insane ones that he has no hope of figuring out. Sat Sep 04 01:46:04 +0000 2010
