#1 "Some offers were rejected, such as a company whose major concept was a lounge chair with a built-in lie detector."

What wife wouldn't want one of these?

#2 Necessity is Israel's mom, methinks.

This is only ever so slightly soured by the fact that some of these technologies were handed to Israel on a platter a couple of decades ago so they could survive -- researched, developed and delivered via my tax dollars. I appreciate the fact that they improved upon them, mixed them with other technologies, repackaged them for other uses, etc. I just want some reasonable discounting, I guess - those are my tax dollars still flowing out to defend them and keep them in clover... Fair's fair, boyz.

#3 well, .com, consider this: The US, anually, pumps about as much into Egypt as it does Israel. What has Egypt developed?

#4 PD - Different poop going on there. That's a blackhole and utter waste, some might say, heh.

Hey, all I want is a phreakin' discount. I'm ready to head over and do some varmint plinkin' when they mess with the fence, it's not like I'm anti-Israel or anything like it - as you know, lol!

Hell, okay. I want a Death Ray generator of my own. You've gone and made me admit it. So there. Happy?

Lol! ;-)
