Aux promesses éternelles
Aux jours de grand soleil
Aux instants d'or et de lumière
Aux silences des âmes
Aux non-dits qui s'enflamment
Aux feux complices des lunes claires

Tant que l'eau s'endort aux yeux des reines
Comme au lit des rivières
Tant que nos mains se souviennent
Rien n'est vraiment fini
Les vents du large parfois ramènent
Le marin qui se perd
Tant que ta voix suit la mienne
Rien n'est vraiment fini
Vraiment

Aux parfums irréels
Aux nuits d'ambre et de miel
Aux douces magies de la peau
A nos chemins de vie
A tout ce qui nous lie
A ce passé qui nous tient chaud

Tant que l'eau s'endort aux yeux des reines
Comme au lit des rivières
Tant que nos mains se souviennent
Rien n'est vraiment fini
Les vents du large parfois ramènent
Le marin qui se perd
Tant que ta voix suit la mienne
Rien n'est vraiment fini
Vraiment

Si les vents du large te ramènent
Rien n'est vraiment fini

Tant que l'eau s'endort aux yeux des reines
Comme au lit des rivières
Tant que nos mains se souviennent

Rien n'est vraiment fini

Les vents du large parfois ramènent
Le marin qui se perd
Tant que ta voix suit la mienne
Rien n'est vraiment fini
Vraiment

Rien n'est vraiment fini

As I was watching South Park tonight, I started thinking what my mother would think about it. Let's face it, tonight's episode was absurd. Yet, I wish I had been watching it with my mother.

I think my class learned something today. As we were going over screenshots for a input screen, a few of us remarked about the credit card number being wrong. It was a Visa card with the first digit as a 7. Visa starts with 4. I remarked about why I found the number wrong. My professor was in disbelief as I was reciting that American Express numbers start with 3, Visas with 4, Mastercards with 5, and Discovers with 6. He, along with most of the class wondered how I knew something like that. I explained that worked in bankruptcy for 2½ years. I had to input so many credit cards, it was just something I picked up on the job. The professor remarked that yes, his Mastercard started with a 5. He said he'd have to check his other cards to see the pattern. Later in class, another input screen came up with a 16 digit card number. This card started with a 5 and was marked American Express. I chuckled at it. The professor realized the problem with this shot. In addition to the 5 denoting it's really a Mastercard, the number was a "valid" number. Someone could theoretically charge something to that number featured in the book. However, if someone didn't know what was "taught" in class today, they would think it was a AmEx card.
