Ah, a resource for what it was like back in the “olden days.” Tell us, did the mountains seem a lot bigger? How difficult is it to be accurate with an atlatl? And by all means… what color was a T Rex? HB! ---

Thank you all! Yes, I have my towel and no, I’m not panicking (not even twice). And yes, those dang mountains have shrunk in size, although T-Rexs were really polka dotted. 🙂 I think that covers everything except to wish **Maus Magill** a Happy Birthday also. Us pisces have got to party like it was still 1999! ---

I know I have been hanging with you squares on this board for too long. I knew before I clicked on the thread that this would be about the number 42. I never even read the book. Happy Birthday, Faithfool. ETA: Happy Birthday, Maus Magill, too. Birthdays are my favorite. For some reason, I just love them. ---
