Well, no offense Owen, but I also have in my posession a document that<br class="">
definitively proves that you are Satan. I would like to share that<br class="">
with everyone, but my lawyer won't let me. Until he does however<br class="">
I think that everyone should just take it on faith, because I'm<br class="">
always right and I never lie.<br class="">
