Baba:

This is probably the "best" speech SHEPAD has given so far, but fast
forward to I believe, 2008?? when he gave the speech on his mediation
between the feuding jinns??! I have to dig that speech out if I have
time. I think that one ranks high up there on his record breaking
speeches. Oh, and before I forget, what about his AIDS cure
announcement speech?
With SHEPAD, you will never run out of "best" speeches! And that make
this contest to find his "best"speech a tough one. Good luck to all
contenders. It is definitely worth the D1m prize.
