How big was Viking when it started?

Brilliant. Demonstrates full understanding of the concept of discourse as a
method of achieving truth. Very much in tune with underlying Internet
phliosophy.

My mother died in 1993. My wife did read the book and so did my daughter.
They had some observations about a few things they didn't find pertinent,
but they did laugh out loud. Dale showed the book at various stages to
readers he knew and they were unanimous in their positive response. One
wrote that he picked it up at 3:30 am and was unable to put it down.

It's called making a hypothesis and testing it.

Why are you boasting about it? I'd think that you'd be ashamed of having
learned so little from your studies. Did you pass? Maybe you should go back
and at least try a couple of courses in English grammar, spelling,
punctuation and style. Or is that Old Goidelic you're writing?

Sean? Got the solder? The tin can? This fish just jumped into the net on his
own.
