Hmmm.  Maybe we shouldn't :)  But the two aren't really mutually exlusive,
either.  After all, we're going to be technologically advanced some day.
Always look on the bright side and all that...

Anyway, maybe we don't associate the two.  Anyone seen The Outer Limits?
That's always on about curiosity killed the cat and stuff.

Have you and Kenny been conspiring behind my back or something?  That's two
of you now with a 'sailing the seas' theme.    Hmmm.  Looks
like I'll have to bow to popular demand, here.  Maybe   Unless I
come up with something better. :)
