Dearest Ludwig,

Many and copious thanks for the Marcia Funebre of Opus No. 55. And thanks for setting the bar so very, very high that Johannes Brahms waited 47 years, 23 years after being called "the chosen one" by Robert Schumann in 1853, to even attempt to write a symphony -- a form so highly perfected by yourself.

You are ichiban,
Your faithful and humble fan,
Christopher

And the idea that you might be exposing yourself to a serious disease is thrilling and really gets my blood flowing. RE: optimal number for a ...

Gas Protest and Other Stupid Ideas

Updated I - Updated II - Updated III On May 15, some percentage of MySpace users will show their solidarity and not buy any gasoline for a single day. This is, of course, a ridiculous idea. The bulletin reads thus (there are a few different versions, I am picking on the most common): Dont buy gas may 15th PROTEST Body: DON'T PUMP GAS ON TUESDAY, MAY 15, 2007 In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.On May 15th 2007, all Internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the Internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15t...
