- I am not a believer in God, per say. So that one is taken care of.

- Where are your mystery Leptons? If I kiss them are you going to
- make public announcement that Danno is a deserving and competent VP

-
- What does this have to do with physics or the fact that physics
- should, most assuredly keep its nose out of religion, or the fact
- that Danno may not have made an incorrect statement?
