You missed an event that will never happen again - Tomarrow 5 April 2006 at 2 minutes and three seconds after 1am the time date will be    01:02:03 04/05/06 this will never happen again.

Funny how I know trivial, meaningless things ; but can't find the area to order dash plaques to be picked up at PF.

I believe the microwave and the chocolate bar are a myth.  Many I know are true.  The others I don't know.
