2. Lordy, she had a biological birth
I have always thought she was satan's spawn.

8. Gender? Perhaps Genus, maybe species.
We know she a reptile because she lays thousands of eggs in the sand once every mating season.

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

14. Some are hatched and some are born live
it depends on the species of lizard you are talking about.

15. She came out like the creature in "Alien."
Only the baby alien was much cuter than Anne.

17. Where were you?
Edited on Thu Dec-08-05 12:56 PM by Benjamin
Where were you when you heard John Lennon was murdered?

I was working as a diesel equipment mechanic back then and heard it on the radio. I remember stopping right in the middle of what I was doing. I think I was working on a backhoe. It was one of those moments where your mind just goes blank for a few moments until the information sinks in -- something so horrible, at first you can't believe it. I put down my tools and went out into the loading yard to tell a friend. Some of the other guys heard me and gathered around. We had a sad couple of minutes together, standing there in a circle, not really saying much other than, "That sucks." Then we all went back to work.

19. I was going to work at a small custom furniture factory in Austin
I felt like I lost a member of my family, an older brother who I looked up to and still do.
Grieved for three days.
