		<description>&lt;i&gt;I would like to see Katherine Kersten take the test too.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You don&#039;t need math when you&#039;ve got faith in God!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;And why do we need math anyway?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Derusha, I can forgive you for living in the burbs and even for being on TV because you&#039;re pretty cool, but DON&#039;T GO DISSIN ON MY PROFESSION YO! jk, but serious, that hurts.</description>

		<description>Amen, brother... you should never know a bass player. You should FEEEEEELLL a bass player.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whitebelters can be seen on MySpace. Aging Deadheaders -- which the &lt;a href=&quot;http://northfield.org/node/1421&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Flying Eklund Brothers&lt;/a&gt; are truly not -- can be seen on MNSpeak. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Touche, bro-ham... ;)</description>

		<description>I thought this was MNSpeak...where are the white belters, and what&#039;s with all the mini-deadheads?  and bass players are best barely heard and never seen, and hopefully they have a van &amp; crash pad that the whole band can use.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>No. There is a problem with people being able to do functional computation.  It&#039;s tips.  Andy and I were out for lunch yesterday and our waitress, a very kind, attractive, and seemingly talented woman was complaining how poor people&#039;s tipping was.  So there you go.  Math is important.</description>
