6. And that's ALL I got from her!
:rofl:

I saw the 'Eureka' and instantly thought of a name that rhymed... But, yeah, I do recall that Married With Children episode now that you'd mentioned it... :7

5. Because we haven't colonized the moon - yet.
I always thought Eureka was misspelled: "Eww-reek-a" - as in, take a friggin' bath, you 49er. :freak:

7. Colonized? Just eat a quart of beans and you'll get it for free...
