After reading [this press release,](http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/000629/8841.html) I’m gonna be buying some stocks. I would buy the product, guaranteed. For the new purpose, not for the second one listed.

These guys are going to be bazillionaires. They are already gods. I just want to know where the hell they were when I was in high school!

Well, Demo, I wasn’t ALWAYS this handsome and debonaire!

It’s the subtle hints of gray around my temples. Apparently it drives the women wild. I think it’s a primitave throwback instinct for women to be drawn to the silverback in the group of gorillas.
