Hence, their not particularly notable absence. Never mistake me for a racist: I am not a racist, I am a misanthropist. As Sam Clemens put it, "All I need to know about a person is that they're human, and that's enough.They can't get much worse." However, questions like this drive me up the freaking wall. They're not there because they're not there. Bad enough I'm going to have to listen to a year or more of "Well, this seat has become the AFRICAN-AMERICAN Senate seat" here in IL when Roland Burris's appointment term ends next year. Please don't contribute to the inanity.

The Impossible project snapped up the scientists with the most experience in making the original film, which gives them better than impossible odds that they will succeed.
