Dumber than your statement that "Once we moved out [of a haunted house], 
we suddenly had no trouble getting pregnant and all of our bad luck 
vanished."?

"*I* *GIVE* *UP
I am going to be formatting every last key I have with Linux on it and I
am quitting this forum. I don't even want to think about this steaming
