Ummmm. I don't think there is any. I say that with love, but, also with a general grounding in how psychology (to say nothing of the physics of cars) really works.

Vortex, Google says it's *67.

Ah, i didn't realize that it was for cell phones as well.

Are there universal laws of life, much like the fundamental laws of physics, that govern or limit the characteristics that make life — in any form — possible? Hear a vibrant discussion with astrobiologists Paul Davies, Steven Benner, and Maggie Turnbull about the search for life as we don’t know it.

I do @@ a little at how many different categories of cards they have, but they sure do cover all the bases! I considered getting a "Your first Mother's Day" card for my cousin, but they were all about baby laughing and whatever, and since she just had the baby last Friday, they didn't seem like they would resonate....

I think it's so rocking that I know a goodly portion of the physicists listed. I AM A ROCK STAR BY ASSOCIATION.
