ha-ha! Too true! So, Scary Tracey, did you watch the trailer yet?
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Now that I think about it, it's not really that far fetched. I mean, after Deity-knows-how-many-centuries of us shaving these poor guys bald in order to make pricey sweaters for ourselves, they'd *have* to be p*ssed off...
