    "Steel My Soldiers Hearts" - Colonel David H. Hackworth
    <<<<<<<>>>>>>>
    "Five Days in May" - Christopher D. Hartpence
    <<<<<<>>>>>>>

    "Mein Kampf" - Adolf Hitler (A horrendous liar who somehow managed to convince people that what he said is fact, further support my previouse statement in another thread "No matter how wrong you are, you are always right")

    "The Bible" written by psychotic fundamentalists over a few hundred years... translated and manipulated by Christian caretakers over a thousand years or written by a many people on too many shrooms, you decide.

    "Kama Sutra" - written by a couple of guys in a bar as a joke, we now collectively refer to them as God. Many people speculate that it was Norm and that other guy from Cheers.


    "THGTTG" (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) - Douglas Adams, a great man with an affinity for towels, may he rest in peace.

                              Good catch on the Sava within Savage.
                              Things are suddenly so much more clear.
