When my brother and his friends were younger we used to look for girls in my Volvo 142 and also go out in the woods and blow up pipe bombs. We called that going on a "mission".  8)

I think it is for most people. I love Beethovens 9th symphony more the older I get. Sadly they have hijacked the text of the song to the EU "anthem".

Sweden never signed the peace treaty with San Marino in the peace of Westphalia in 1648.

My brother studied at the same aviation school as one of the WTC terrorists for a short while.

Blasphemy!  :o Not only is Mercedes-Benz the oldest car in the world, that particular car is one of the fastest that you can drive on a public road (and only in Germany, since it's the only country that still has highways with no speed limits that are good enough for that velocity): 324 kmph or 202 mph.

So what if Mercefes-Benz is the oldest car in the world. I mean would bang the oldest chick in the world?

The car still looks ugly.

Have it your way, but it's still an ugly car. I never said it wasn't any good, I just don't like how it looks. It's too busy and to many surface details etc, the angles are just seem wrong to me in what I think makes up a good looking car.

Now this is a good looking car:

I remember seeing one of those, once.
It was in the parking lot of a Jaguar dealer, which was near one of our studio locations. I had the impression that Daddy-Deep-Pockets was there to buy his spoiled, plain  daughter a new Jag.

:D

My wife bought a can of tomato soup and on the side was an ad, "FREE GAS FOR A YEAR!"

I am very hesitant to try this soup.

There are no "for" loops in XSLT. If you need one, you need to cheat using recursive templates.
