Those that travel much further away from the sun have small nukes instead, for a reason. [slaps self on face] |

Lonely Psychotic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert! LOL
On Sun, 16 Dec 2018 13:38:49 +1100, cantankerous trolling geezer Rot Speed,
the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: You're sposed to disembowel yourself. You're supposed to **** off from normally evolved humans' ngs, senile cretin! -- FredXX to Rot Speed: "You are still an idiot and an embarrassment to your country. No wonder we shippe the likes of you out of the British Isles. Perhaps stupidity and criminality is inherited after all?" Message-ID: |
