You see, you've got to look at the big picture. It was the 3rd of july and in those days, that was a big deal. The ships first appeared over the major citys, like New York, London, Washington. They could used the radio waves to work out where the hotbeds are. In today's world, I reckon they would be a ship flying over Iraq. They were too powerful for us, but with the help of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum, we managed to send a bomb up to the mothership to send a virus and for it to filter down into all the other ships. This disabled their shields and we were able to finish them out.

Aw man, when I bought my mp3 player I wanted it to be a Walkman, because I still say Walkman anyway. I figured that when people laughed and said "mp3 player, you auld cow!" I could show my Walkman and laugh. But they had none and I was in a hurry for music, so I got a Creative Zen balderdash.

That is hardly an illness that can cause you to break the law. It is a pity we do not have the death penalty and a our major drug trafficers were executed. As the Chinese Governmnet says' our people agree with the death penalty' and in England the majority would like to see the death penalty brought back."

It could be he is actually called Mihael. However, it's much more likely he's incapable of spelling his own name.

You could cheat, because if it was taking a long time to reach the page, it was a wrong answer. If it was correct it would blip to it right away (you know those sub-pages)
