Blah! Blah! Blah! The wireless technology Bluetooth is named after Harald Bluetooth, a 10th century Scandinavian king. An octopus can squeeze through a hole the size of its eye! In the early 20th century, American explorer Richard Halliburton swim the length of the Panama Canal, crossed the Alps on an elephant, and flew around the world in an open cockpit plane. In 1939, he tried to sail a Chinese junk across the Pacific but was lost at sea.

Now, now now. You are not allowed to attribute two despicable motives to Bush-boy. People are convinced that ‘shrub’ was a simpleton. BTW, how many Democrats voted ‘FOR’ Invasion?

Nice going Dick. Does “lost at sea” mean that your attempt simply stopped due to unsolvable problems, or that your “look at me” disease finally cause you to buy the farm?

BTW, the word “junk” for a Chinese vessel comes from a Portuguese word, and has nothing to do with our English word for trash. Look it up.
