Top 10 Freebies

Simply supply NASA with your name, and it will be added to the list that will be on a CD ROM on board one of the spacecraft, its exploration Jim, but not as we know it!
A free vegetarian starter kit
If your thinking of becoming a vegetarian this could be a good place to start. In fact, and not a lot of people know this, I am a second generation vegetarian, I only eat grass eating animals.
There, not bad at all, you have got drunk, been to Mars, handed out your business cards to any local martians, washed your hair, phoned home and on the return journey got photos of the Earth from space, and all without getting off the chair.
