Entry made in this edit by SpiffySpokane on Feb 29, 2004. Probably vanity, and anyway - a 17-year old "revolutionary"? Get real! Lupo 08:45, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

how about adding that it's national refund day for microsoft products? http://www.vcnet.com/bms/features/teaparty.shtml

I don't think that an episode of Naruto is noteworthy. Would someone take care of that since the page is protected?171.161.160.10 19:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
