Good catch. And I agree. Or we can just call up the Majestic 12 and get them to let us use the TR-3B Edited April 12, 2013 by We Come In Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just Carlin's philosophies were pretty nihilistic, which certainly can rub folks the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one thing that humanity should strive for is space exploration. I'm all for the matching color coded space suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
