[Lauching Bill Gates] <AOL>Mee tooo!</AOL> It'd be more fun to put him in a space capsule, launch that, then open the door in orbit... *SPLATTER* (If you don't know, putting a body in a vacuum causes it to explode) -------

Daniel A. Seagraves wrote: door in orbit... *SPLATTER* Uh, no, it doesn't. That's what happens in bad movies. In reality, the water boils off, causing some of the easier exits to make messes, but the main body will basically "freeze-dry" even if it's exposed to the Sun. (NASA [an organization I despise because it denies _any_ other American effort access to orbit] _has_ done animal tests to check that out). (The only thing better than testing medical research on animals is testing it on politicians -- but the poli's are too damned noisy to let you concentrate when you're working on the report -- and you're still not allowed to kill them). -- Ward Griffiths <mailto:gram@cnct.com> <http://www.cnct.com/home/gram/> Bill Gates has this situation where the federal government wants him convicted for attempting a monopoly. Has Bill considered responding with a question as to why there's only one Justice Department?
