I'll save the planet change the world
I'll make a one girl stand

Tui: I went there...did you notice that they don't have any TAMAHED quotes? I was sad--it's my fave Pratchett book. But the others are funny. I'll probably change my sig when I get a chance.
crookedfrog: Coconuts? Coconuts are good...but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Lets see...the closest was the A-Ann book of a series of encyclopedias...

Not too exciting, I know...but for the record its the Grolier Encyclopedia of Knowledge A-Ann
