Fantastic! I think this is where I'm supposed to pull content for the class I was hired to teach this summer. Would it have killed them to get textbooks? - ErWenn, 2007-06-27: 06:40:00

Hey James, my word isn't showing up.
Nor mine.

Hey Purple, I have updated the score so that it is correct now. I will be watching it to see the Double Verbotomy introduces any other bugs ~ James

Never mind that last comment. Very strange.
