So I was digging through my in box and I found this - probably one of the funniest emails I've received in recent history. A friend and I regularly disagree about whether or not it's a good thing that we have nuclear bombs (his position - he doesn't necessarily like them, but since they're out there, he'd prefer that we have as many as humanly possible). So I got this from him the other day:

I get breaking news from cnn on my email. Thought you
guys would be interested in this.

Los Angeles student, Liz Miller, is quoted as saying
"I am thrilled that the president has made this
choice. Speaking for vegetable eating hippies
everywhere, I think this is a huge step forward in the
war on nuclear war. I hope that the president and
Russia don't just throw the bombs away, I hope they
convert them into to Love or Happiness bombs if you
will. So if ever the US in in danger of an attack we
can fight back with love....and of course lettus."
Miller then returned to her tofu burger.
