We´ll see about that! Okay, so I haven´t got it yet, but when I get it...
and when Nintendo releases network capabilities for n64, I´ll beat you!

That´s right. Space = airtanks all the time, if not you die. space =
airtanks sometimes. Sci-fi = everything else.
U.F.O -is that really Space? I can´t see the space logo anywhere near those
sets in my catalogue. But they are aliens, not humans, and therefor probably
can surevive without those stuff.
I think they keep their oxygen supplies in their big ugly helmets.

What´s a POOP? And a CRAPP? CRAPP maybe "Crappy Red And Pink Parts" but I
doubt that.

Yes. Real Space as in "space theme" and not as in "star wars" and "launch
command".

Yes, yes. Take the number you get from the above calculation, program your
VCR with it, and you can watch any channel you want for free. It´s fun, safe
and all you have to do is to study some really advanced math.

| (...) POOP = Piece (made) Out of Other Pieces - a piece which should have been several pieces. CRAPP = Crummy Ramp and Pit Plate - the big raised baseplate with the ramp on the side, or generally, any raised baseplate. Steve (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.space)
