I might have scanned her a

underestimated the life on this -, planet. The people have so much
courage. Here they are hurling
through space on a molten rock
at 67,000 miles an hour and the
only thing that keeps them from
flying out of their shoes is
their misplaced faith in
gravity. I'm so glad we're
staying. I want to find out
what else they bow. What makes
them happy, how thay raise their
young, what happens when they
die. why they call themselves
the human race. Do they think
someone's gonna win?
