It's immune to every disease except for that very new one that will kill everything as a result of it being immune to every disease.

No you are both wrong.

That is the newly released picture of TMBOA new facelift. What an improvement they have made there.

Well done the research team!

While it may be a physics law, I certainly believe every action has an equal and opposite reaction.......we just need to what and see what it is. If we are to believe in science and evolution, it evolved with these vulnerabilities for a reason. Either way, great research going on there.....kudos to them.
That being said....Chris I find it highly insulting that you damage that pig by comparing it to asslips kirchner........if that pig only knew what he was being compared to...BK's lover...........lol
