[QUOTE=BudgieJane;304499]Stamped mail is mail where stamps have been applied to the envelopes. These stamps require cancelling as part of the process through the sorting office. Franked mail is mail that has been passed through a postage meter. These meter impressions do not need cancelling at the sorting office.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=LaurV;304512]Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know what "franked" means, nor had any idea what's happening inside of the post office. Now I learned something new.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Dubslow;304513]Neither did I, but I admit I still have no idea what this has to do with "Badge a minit" or mid-August.[/QUOTE]

So basically, the peopling of the Americas can be attributed to a bunch of guys leading their respective tribal groups toward some destination in NE Asia, getting lost, and in typical guy-fashion, failing to ask directions. But in few groups the wife finally put her foot down, and once it was established that they'd landed on the wrong continent, said "You are turning this [strike]car[/strike] tribe around this instant, buster, or I'm moving back in with my parents."[/QUOTE]
You have to remember that maps weren't as detailed ~300 years ago.

A little less Austrian conversation please.

Otherwise I'll post an appropriate [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfiCwdO4Lks"]link[/URL].

German war communique: the situation is serious but not desparate.

[QUOTE=Prime95;304595]Nfortino's post is most telling



If Nfortino did his calculation correctly, then Wagstaff is predicting more Mersenne primes than the commonly believed 1.78 primes for each exponent doubling.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Batalov;304604]Since that old time 4 of each were added, so the score is 27:19 now.
