I've come to understand that faith is a non-material path to Infiniti, the way that education leads to a path, and can be described, but I'm not going to do it. I'm just saying it's probably in the young adult version of Stephen Hawking's seminal book.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ilsa!

But English is screwed up and we already used up the term likely for something else. Of course it is also an open-minded language, so we can add more definitions to the same word. If halfway between like and dislike is meh, then I propose the term likely to mean somewhere between lovely and mehly.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
