11. You have twice as many Newts as children AND
you spend more time playing with them(the Newts that
is).
12. Number 11 doesn't apply to you because the
Newts ARE you children. *wonders*can you claim them on
your taxes???
13. You are in a cold sweat because it is your
wedding anniversary and while surfing e-bay to find
that ridiculus thing that she hinted to you in a
not-so-inconspicuous-way she wanted you find it but
*gasp* you see that a Titanium cased, overclocked,
dongl-killed Newton owned by one of the developers
himself is in the final minute FOR THE SAME PRICE!!!
WHAT DO YOU DO???!!
'epilogue'
It has been two weeks and even though you are still in
the dog house(no I mean LITERALLY in the dog's house)
you care not because your wireless network(which just
happens to be your wife's Christmas present) allows
you to still send continuous e-mail updates to the
Newtontalk list about the secrect NewtonOS 3.0!!!,
who then respond with a deluge of thanks and praises
for you honorable and noble sacrifice....A true
patriot of the Green!!!
subnote: wow this dog food ain't that bad....
