Wouldn't really call 31 to 38 narrow... that's a 10% difference. Still, a shame.

Almost wanted to say something but then I'd just be the stupid yankee talking about things he doesn't understand.

This Satanism thing should be its own thread.

I remember there was a Satanist group in the US somewhere that bought a bunch of highway billboards saying they might sue state governments that passed anti-abortion laws because banning abortion violated Satanists' religious beliefs.
