Sorry folks, I'm just really bored.

If you don't play, I'll try not to hold a grudge against you for the rest of my life. But no promises. ;)

Rules: 3 questions per post, as many posts as you like. Thread goes until it's figured out. Check out Mr Scorpio's thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5024312&mesg_id=5024312 for tips.
