    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

    Is it just me? I really could care less about the successful landing of the NASA Rover on Mars. Until human being start living on other planets like Star Trek colonies, I am not enthralled at all personally...

      So in two days more is spent on being in Afghanistan than is spent in a whole year of being on Mars? I know which is more worth it.

      $2.5 billion for the total mission is somewhere in the neighborhood of $8.33 for each man/woman/child in the US. I spent than that on a slurpee and lottery tickets yesterday. Which "investment" is more important to the advancement of civilization? Sure, they could have used the money to fix a few pot-holes or something, but so what? It's not an either/or proposition. Advanced science with no immediate payoff is the type of thing that only a government can (or should) fun...
