"I do have a few manga. Do those count as comic books?
Also, even though I am not yet a citizen of West Texas, I have decided to take this opportunity to announce my plans to move there before the year 2100 - 2200 at the latest."

Yeah, i hate getting people trying to convert me also. I used to think it would be a good opportunity to have a laugh, then i started thinking it would be a chance to convert them to atheism. . . but that hasn't worked out too well . . .
What agency did your wife sell out of?

I'd also like to let you know that a group of us Sunshine Coast atheists meet each month for dinner at the Reef Hotel, Noosa. Our next dinner is at 6.30pm on Wednesday, 12 August. It's very informal, and a lot of fun.
