Re: Anyone seen the new Rambo?

This formula doesn't work because it doesn't account if you are totally low body fat, but actually go to the gym and have lots of muscle..

Heard a wild rumor, nothing more than passing hearsay that: 2 of the male crew were *involved* at the time of the accident. I wonder what these next RCMP reports will find. The report also points out the two officers did not co-operate with the internal investigation. I find this very interesting.

AC cannot be blamed for their actions. Their board of directors must act in the best interest of their shareholders. Their shareholders have invested for a return on investment.
