It is not often that I admit to being envious, but this time I really
have to confess for all to see that I wish I had been able to score 30
or below. I keep trying to convince myself that I'm a Hardcore Skeptic,
but somehow I just can't believe it without adequate evidence.

At least you'll be in an interesting stew. Cooking with a bunch of other
skeptics will be a hell of a lot more fun than floating around on the
clouds with a bunch of Pentecostals who died in a bus crash on their way
home form a Sunday school picnic.
