how great is new york's flag? they left nothing out -- a globe, an eagle, boats, hot chicks, scales of justice, even a catch phrase!

And not forgetting a ferris wheel in the funpark in the background!

RE: Trademark and use of copywrited term "Excelsior"

Dear Excelsior College, if you have 'copywrited' the term Excelsior, it means you have put it in an advertisement written by a copywriter. If you have 'copyrighted' it, on the other hand, you have asserted intellectual property rights in limited areas. Neither case should give anyone here any cause for concern.

Australia is a wild, frontier state. Much like New York.

Is George Takai representing the United Federation of Planets?

Why are aliens always so punctual? Why aren't they ever like Egyptians, and turn up three hours late to everything?
