Angel, I've never said I know everything. There are a great many things I don't know, and I've admited when I was in error here. If Boacrow will provide evidence of the capabilites of his shelter, and construction time (photographs with timestamps will be accepted unless blatently doctored to the naked eye), I will be willing to "eat crow". (If you'll pardon the pun) But without it, it is just another rather wild claim made by someone unwilling to share evidence.

I would say that my knowledge base is different from many people's for one large reason- I started learning the sciences, survival and world affairs while most people were learning those strange jump rope rituals, gossiping about movie and rock stars and study the statistics of one form of sports or another. I made a choice to not waste my time with things that provided no useful skill or insight into the functioning of the world.

And in a way, yes, I am at times curious as to what it would have been like to a "normal kid", usually around Thanksgiving. Five minutes in a store around the middle of December will take care of my curiosity for another fifty weeks. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
