1. ok

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

14. I simply cannot give medical advice.

It's against my professional code of ethics. Diagnosing the existence of a clique on DU would be doing just that.

Carry on. :patriot:
