    Kikky is afraid of that little L symbol, so she never tried to learn about it. Pandy is free to call her "chuck" and beat her with a stick.

    Plus, the last time her dad was there for a NATO conference, they had him using Euro, so what was she supposed to think?

    He also said you guys are a full season ahead of us on Dr. Who and Stargate, to which I am jealous.

    Oh, and £>$ is not entirely a true statement.
    ¥ > £ and $. Have you seen the Nikkei! The only place it's going is up!
