Yes, well....I was referencing the above statement about April 1st
only, Mike. Ben seemed to be implying that only some might find it
amusing. We all know how hilarious it really is. The Moon Radio was
funny as hell (still laughing inside as I type this, really I am).
Benny Hill (RIP) and the Pythons are some of my favorites. Few in
number, but strong in content.

Arthur C. Clarke was also co-wrote 2001: A Space Odessy, with Stan
Kubrick. He was truly a visionary, and the world is a better place for
his time here.
