My quote against a single random quote will be easy to pick. You missed "DARK MATTER?" --> "it's an illusion". You missed "CITY OF ATLANTIS" --> "house of merchandise" You missed "ANY ALIENS" --> "kept looking" You really didn't try, if you were stuck in a prison with the answers being the lock sequence I'm sure you'd get out in 2 minutes. Again you use any argument possible to AVOID investigation. Herc
