Didn't you know the reason the roof was built so large was to allow short haul aircraft to use it as an alternate runway, thereby getting round all the silly green types!! ------------- I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e! |

Getting back to the penguins , as seen on TV, I dispair at this new 'Photoshop' type toy the BBC technicians have to play with. Previously it was hippos synchronised underwater swimming. Kids will grow up thinking this is real. With a bit more imagination the technicians could make it distinguishable from reality without detracting from the content. ------------- |

The questionaire is great but the whole microsite is quite a read. I like the job opportunities in "Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering ", which has for obvious acronym "G.C.H.E.E.S.E. Check it out on http://www.google.com/jobs/lunar_job.html - http://www.google.com/jobs/lunar_job.html Finally, the http://www.google.com/virgle/faq.html - FAQ answers all the questions you could think of, and a few you haven't even dreamt of yet: http://www.google.com/virgle/faq.html - http://www.google.com/virgle/faq.html and YES, http://www.google.com/virgle/error.html - Virgle is real !
