Yep that'll do it. |

| 857814 | 2010-02-13 01:26:00 | In New Zealand we'd put a sign up saying leaving the track could be hazardous to your health. Then if there was an accident, we'd prosecute everyone associated with the Olympics under health and safety legislation and no one would ever be able to luge again, well at least not in the ten years the investigation would take. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||

Hey,lets raise taxes. |
