02/15   CSUA General Meeting March 5, 5pm, Place TBA

2/19    Should I get a Platinum Visa from First USA?  -- cm1ee
        \_ No.  1.) you'll never get the $500,000 limit, 2.) it's just
           like a gold card, 3.) that 4.9% APR is first year only.  This
           "platinum" card won't help your rating more than any gold card.
        \_ Checks that are charged to your card are useful.  Also, my
           platinum card has an APR of 10.9% (after the 4.9% expires).

2/19    Those whacky Swiss are at it again:

02/18   What's the minimum age of a female that I can legally "sleep" with in
        the States and in California?
        \_what's the matter...can't get anyone your age to sleep with you?
          now you're thinking about sleeping with your kid sister?
        \_ Guess what you will be giving her as present on her 18th birthday?
                \_ Your parole!  Hahaha!
        \_ 0.  You can sleep with anyone, but if you are talking about
           having sexual intercourse...
           \_ Yes, that's what I mean.
        \_ I doubt there's a federal law, there are state laws and in
        California, the age is 18.
        \_ in "incredibly hip" california, the age is higher than other
        states, some of which say its okay at 16?!
          \_ Check an almanac.  Some states are even lower.  BTW, California
             isn't incredibly hip, it's just run by people who don't give a
             shit.  Very big difference.
        \_ For all you cradle robbers,
           here's a handy guide from the 1/97 Playboy for vacation planning:
                \_ Thanks. -psb
