So what you're saying is, if you cannot fly, then you don't have proof of who you are?

I was once talking to a person who lived in Jersey City, who had his Honda stolen several times, while there were much nicer cars, like BMWs, parked next to him, which were untouched.

The explaination he gave for this is that when cars are stolen, they are stripped for parts. There is a huge secondary market for Honda parts. People who own more expensive cars like BMWs almost exclusively get their cars serviced with their dealers, and BMW won't sell parts to anyone except the dealers, and hence the secondary market for BMW parts is nonexistent.

Yes.

if "I now have proof of who I am, so I can fly" means "If I have proof of who I am, I can fly."

"The winner is....Headless Ponch!"

Oh god, that made me howl. I was just surprised that they didn't get Erik Estrada along with all the other people they got, considering he's right there over on Sealab.

I need to remember when/that it's on, though. And DEFINITELY looking forward to picking it up on DVD (it BETTER come out).

If turtles can play the piccolo, then anyone with with cowboy boots can join the kite-flying club.

This looks like much more fun than "thinking" as proof of "am-ing" (I just wanted to write "aming" in a sentence).

There's a really nice paradox with this "if X then Y" equaling (I don't know the clever words -t uses) "if NOT Y than NOT X". It involves the things you need for confirming the hypothesis in both its phrasings - the Ravens Paradox

Isn't it?

Along the border, certain makes and models are particularly hot for parts. Of course, I can't recall which. There's one type that isn't as tempting because there is a parts factory down in Mexico. Of course, there's always the chance you car will get stolen and have a new paint job and plates within 90 minutes. Hey, and maybe a Juarez cop will be driving it!

Hondas & toyotas are not only popular, they simply don't get junked or break down as often. I couldn't find a master power control for my 88 Camry for two years, and would have stolen one myself to get my window down.

"Congruent" means "is equivalent to" or "is identical to", Nilly. I'm not completely sure I'm using it right, to be honest, but the phrasing sprang to mind as if that was how I was taught it.
