67 Books on Podiobooks.com? Man, I’m falling behind!
since you guys have all this power to influence everyone, will you use your powers for good or evil? my guess, the latter. Free Joe!
Whilst we may have to wait for the firt half of season 10 of SG1 here in the UK, don’t forget that if things go as they have in previous years we will get the second half of the season a few weeks before you do.
And even if we don’t it is just as easy for us to jet over to the states every week and get new episodes, just as many of you have come to the UK to get Dr Who.
mikeRabil – Evo is involved. Good is not an option.
Be nice evo… package on the way….

Hey, with all the talk about Snakes on a Plane, have you ever heard of “Snakes on a Train”? A friend of mine saw it in the video store, and I saw it on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0843873). I don’t know anything about the movie. Do you know if is a rip-off of Snakes on a Plane?
