Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Bicore head targeting?
Hey Rich,
It's easier to turn your head than your body right?
Why do you think we got heads anyway? (heheh)
Sure, I could stand on my head but I'd rather use my legs right?
As for walking on my head ....
Better to use your head for something it's good for.
Anyway that's all these heads ARE good for : turn turn turn
Good question though! and please don't mind me: just having some fun.
enjoy
