Let's just say that those medical sensors on my back may be shorting out about the time I think about those two questions.

Let me guess...your favorite South Park character is Cartman, isn't it? ;-) Pat |

I'd heard some time back that Maxis was actually considering a sim version of Sandkings that was essentially SimAnt with the option of using your own photographs to influence the temple and statuebuilding, but apparently a deal couldn't be reached with Martin.

I had Sea Monkeys. I left them in the tank one night and forgot to feed them. Next morning there was one really big Sea Monkey left in the tank. Pat |

[Shakes head in dismay *and* confusion] You, a South Park fan, missed one of Chef's favorite lines? I think that's his reply when the gang tells him that they may have had a part in the death of Ms. Choksondiks because she was found with semen in her stomach, and Cartman had put their Sea Men in the teacher's coffee pot. :-D Pat |
