    I wrote in Private Mail all the
    facts about my grammer mistakes.
    You stated you understood. You're
    such a jerk. Now you are wondering
    about my Algebra. Well, I am taking
    Geometry right now in summer
    school. It's fun. Today we had a
    chapter test, and I got 100%.
    The chapter test was full of proofs,so I am rather happy. I really can't
    give you an example, and don't
    think I need 2 anyhow. See, this is
    my life..NOT YOURS! I can (and am
    free 2) make all the mistakes I
    want!! I can fail and cheat on a
    test, IF I WANT 2. I do not NEED
    to answer to your authority. If
    you "Hate" my posts, skip them. I
    do not want to have contact with
    you at all. Have a nice life. Here's
    some last advice... Don't worry
    about others, Just yourself.

    I am glad you are not THAT old.
    That is a pretty LONG and HARD

            It is admirable of you to care about Michelle's future, but if your
    concern can not convince her to try her best then I suggest that you do not
    retain her as your lawyer.

            Case closed.

            You may take exception on appeal if you like, however, this decision
    cannot be considered final as this was only a hearing.

    important to know the extent of the geekdom to evaluate its harmfulness in

    as Vanessa Williams's video.  So, like, it's on channel 5 at 12:30, eh.

    Wow, put you on TV and EVERYTHING if you accepted Jesus, eh? Heck, you can
    go down to TV-5 and appear on the Wallace & Ladmo show without sacrificing
    your personal values. Heck, you might even win a Ladmo Bag! Anyhow, Sam
    would probably put you on and tell the people in TV-land that you found God
    through his patented Mind-Power tapes. Wotta bum. I've hated his show ever
    since I set up my VCR one night to tape a "one-time" special. My fiancee
    forgot to turn off the A/B switch on the unit before she went to bed that
    night, and when I woke up that morning and turned the tape on, I got 60
    minutes of Sam Meranto. The man could probably do well to sell his soul for
    a little on-camera stage presence.

    and Sandy if you don't. This is NOT FAIR!
    For those of you that don't know: --- it is big and awsome!

    Date: 07/01/88  Time: 02:08:15

       A 50% MPG improvement is just about the most modest increase in milage
    I've heard of for these mysterious magic carburetor.  Claims of 100+ MPG are
    more common.
       Since all a carburetor does is mix air and fuel at a ratio of 14.7 to 1,
    I really doubt that you can get that large an improvement by just bolting on
    a new carburetor.  You'd still have the same losses in the engine, power
    train, wind resistance, etc.  You can squeeze out a few more MPG by
    atomizing the fuel better, and handling condtions like cold starts and heavy
    acceleration better, but that only improves the MPG by a few percent.
       If you built a car from the ground up with fuel milage in mind, I can
    believe a 100 MPG car.  But by just bolting on a new carburetor on your old
    junker?  No way.
       The "magic carburetor conspiracy" continues because the average car owner
    doesn't have the faintest idea as to what a carburetor does.
       I'll repeat the same challenge I do to every conspircy theory:  if it's
    so secret, how did *you* find out about it?  If this magic carb is patented,
    patents are public records.  Anyone can go to ASU's Noble Science Library
    and look them up.  If this carburator is not patented, anyone could use or
    produce them.  If anyone can give me the patent number, I will go to ASU and
    look it up, and post my observations on it here.

    Some time ago, one of the car magazines did an expose on devices which
    promised to dramatically increase fuel economy. As I recall, they addressed
    the issue of the whereabouts of the "magic carburetor." It was concluded
    that none of the available devices worked as advertised, and that the
    carburetor was indeed an "urban myth."

      Don't worry about the Greenhouse Effect. The sun is entering a cooling off
    cycle which would result in serious problems if the Greenhouse Effect did
    not counteract it. If this does not happen then there is always the New Ice
    Age to offset it, and if all else fails then we can always cause a Nuclear
    Winter anytime we need to.

    (all are in the 619 area code for you non-PC Pursuiters who like paying
    large phone bills)
    Brian Smith's BBS 582-0875
         a very good discussion-oriented BBS with a variety of opinions and
    backgrounds.  Well run by Brian.
    The Rasta Connection 282-1211
         run by a socialist, for discussion of a variety of political and social
    issues.  The sysop is rather unintelligent, but it makes for some fun.  A
    few libertarians on the boards keep things heated.
    Sharky's MAChine 258-0951
         mainly a Macintosh BBS
    Sanyo User's Group BBS 581-9379
         I've never called this one, but I know there's a lot of Sanyou users on
    Apollo, so I decided to mention it.
