Wolverines are not wolves plus they are meaner.

Yep, as they say in the Georgian Orthodox Church (quietly when bishop not
around hunting for non-conformists), he might be the outside auditor of Jesus'
job performance (and his crew).  Thus old custom exists that even the Greeks
picked up.  In village you will often observe that when a priest is walking
on one
side of road, villagers who are going in other direction on same side will
cross
street before meeting him.  Western tourists think it is sign of respect and
copy
behaviour.  That is not what it means at all.  Saying is where ever priest
is, a
devil is close-by checking up on job performance.

Well, I will make no personal observations there.  So, in spirit of
exchange on this topic, you know why the Titanic has never been
raised?

At $6-9 dollars a pound for Viagra, it was too expensive.
