SShhhh!!!!!!! Less than three older than me.

I'm a little shocked she lived as long as she did. She was a multi-drug addict going back at least 40 of those years.

Actually, Kieth is dead. What you see are the random firings of neurons from years of drug and alcohol abuse...

I'm not sure that that's correct, Dave. It should read, "all plants have super-gazillion many lots more brain power than ozzy".
