Anyone still wondering why it's cool to be an American no matter what our politicians do? Everybody raise a glass to Seth Cooper

Wow is my reaction, too. Not surprising, I guess, I know some "gamer kids" who are freaking geniuses.

Wonder if the Everquest group will come up out of the basement now.....

Thanks for those links, Heather

I had to smile....."mimi", a female, is credited with "tucking in a flap" somewhere in the structure, that was the final move that enabled the rest of the puzzle to fall into place.

See, guys, your mothers made you tuck your shirts in for a reason.....
