Designated_Driver Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 32. Mr. Rogers is an ordained minister. Incorrect. Mr. Rogers WAS an ordained minister. He's dead now. 34. There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball. All this talk of regulation golf balls... I very seriously doubt "dimples" is the "regulation" term.

Just so I understand right.......while at the time, you despised the power rangers, at present you thank your parents for it, because holding out has made the power rangers that much better?
