Don't need this 3-day extension: 1 small leap for MAN.....1 great leap for THE FAN

Onward and upward. Mush, you huskies.

Next time aim higher: 666>>>>>>> hypenated mark of the beast. It's really eerie how people are affected by 6's. BNSF railroad used to have a locomotive with this number, formerly ATSF GE C44-9W 666 (1 unit from an order of 100 units). When it got assigned to Texas from California (terminals get assigned so many locomotives and these units usually stay within division parameters for a while) enough crewman were complaining about working on or around "the beast" this unit got re-numbered to 599.

I am not making that anecdote up. True story. Go figure.
