		<description>Someone asked me why women don&#039;t gamble as much as men do, and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don&#039;t have as much money. That was a true and incomplete answer. In fact, women&#039;s total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think it can last too much longer than its planned life, since its reactor fuel won&#039;t last indefinitely.

My name choice would be Podkayne.</description>

		<description>I think i&#039;ll name the rover &quot;Split&quot; because what the rover does is that the rover has a lazer to shot the rocks for it can &quot;Split&quot; In half so they discover what is inside.</description>

&lt;i&gt;
&quot;Of course, given how over-budget MSL is, and how it’s threatened other missions, they might want to name it Gilligan. Somehow, I doubt they’d go for that, either!&quot; &lt;/i&gt; 

Hmm.. If we want to be mean we could try calling it &#039;Horton&#039; after the white elephant who spots a who - that&#039;d be a good choice if they ever want to properly name the ISS too! ;-)</description>
