I have a 2000 model Chevy Astro with AWD. For some time now, it has developed a noise that sounds like a thumping underneath. The noise occurs after running up to speed and then letting off the gas. At about 40 and below, it does not occur. I have checked the U-joints visually, but they appear to be OK. I am suspecting the AWD transfer case as the source. Can any of you mechanically talented people shed any light on this one?

I am trying to think of a white comedian's name of the late 60's and during the 70's who would use words out of context. An example that I remember is the punch line to a joke that I have since forgotten - " the guy had a Cadillac arrest". He would constantly use substitution words in place of the appropriate word. He wasn't the hottest comic at the time nor since, but he was funny to watch. He was also on a lot of different shows featuring Joey Bishop. Thanks for any help you can give me here.

Has anyone out there bought an Everex brand laptop computer. If so, do you like it? If not, what brand do you recommend? Thanks for your inputs.

What do you think about illegal immigration? Do you think it is OK? Please explain why or why not. Thanks.

Has anyone got a good recipe for giblet gravy? I have tried several, but am still looking for ideas. Thanks for any tips.

How many of you out there would just rather write in Donald Duck or Patrick into the different offices that we are voting for. Personally, I am fed up with all of the political hype and frenzy that is going on. Do you just feel blah on this whole election?

Personally, I think a child should be 18 before they are permitted to have any piercings. Of course, I am opposed to any piercings even for adults. Realizing that there are different ideas and thought patterns on the subject, I am soliciting your opinions on the subject - especially for children who really don't know how they feel about it.
