Looks like it's a go with the bombing. Let's hope they don't just poke at it.

------------------------------------------------------------ By John McCaslin THE WASHINGTON TIMES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in Kansas Every year, we're advised, Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together an information sheet to remind faculty of the mindset of the incoming class of freshmen. Actually, for anybody who might not think time flies, it's worth a read: 1. Students starting college this fall were born in 1980. 2. They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan era. 3. They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf war was waged. 4. Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression. 5. There has only been one Pope. 6. They were 11 when the Soviet Union broke apart, and do not remember the Cold War. 7. They have never feared a nuclear war. 8. They're too young to remember the space shuttle Challenger blowing up. 9. Their lifetime has always included AIDS. 10. They never had a Polio shot, and likely, do not know what it is. 11. The expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them. 12. The compact disc was introduced when they were 1 year old. 13. They likely have never played Pac Man, and have never heard of Pong. 14. Star Wars looks very fake to them, and the special effects are pathetic. 15. Blue M&M's are not new. 16. They have always had an answering machine. 17. Most have never seen a black & white TV. 18. They have always had cable. 19. They cannot fathom not having a remote control. 20. Roller-skating has always meant inline for them. ** 21. The Tonight Show has always been with Jay Leno. 22. Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave. 23. The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as World War I and World War II, or even the Civil War. 24. Kansas, Boston, Chicago, America, and Alabama are places, not musical groups.
