Oh hell...Fred Phelps has been hit by a car and has died.

6. Wow, I'm impressed with your studies!

These are substantial classes....no light reading here...

Is the Old Norse a Germanic language? What's your major, if I may ask?

VERY impressive...IMHO....:hi:

7. I'm a grad student in German. Last year I was in math, but I decided...

I'd rather do German. Old Norse is a Germanic language, and due to the dilligent people of Iceland has the richest reserve of medieval literature in the world. In less isolated areas the texts didn't survive as well, but Iceland's isolation combined with long winters with very little sunlight proved ideal for an active scriptographic community.

3. you know those leftist anti-war men of god..........

are "car-Proof", wouldn't hurt him a bit.

8. Damn you.

You had my heart all a-tingle there for a second. No, bigots and haters of the world, I don't want Phelps to die, but if he did? It wouldn't exactly keep me up nights.

9. Oh no! You had me worried about that poor car....

[BlueIris]

10. Not to mention its driver.

How horrifying, to know that you could have been killed in an accident--caused by someone like that.
