My grandfather was board one day and he decided to buy 20,000 shares of ENRON at 36 cents a piece, he's a big stock market person. Thats one company that I hope gets government funding now!

Will there be any weapons options on them to get the competition out of the way or the slow people out of the fast lane. Sure hope it comes with the oil slick option to keep the pesky cops of the tail!!
