way to go, schlackoff, you are beginning to understand. soon you will realize

Ah, very good joxitchby. Now you are beginning to understand. Soon you
will realize that if you are standing in a forrest, can see the sun and
the moon at the same time (very possible certain times of the month and
day) and can even see a jetliner passing overhead (3 ***reference***
points) then you can still be lost. Of course, you'll have to admit to
being wrong to also admit it's still possible to be lost with those 3
known reference points I listed.
