		<description>I&#039;ve became a fan of the asterisk since I recognized the &#039;hidden&#039; WM a couple of months ago. Somewhat akin to the FedEx hidden arrow... actually a clever design.</description>

		<description>Interesting point!  I never considered the health benefits of jogging around the vast retail wastelands of Splat-Mart.  You&#039;ve forever changed my perspective.  Thanks!</description>

		<description>I probably have a different reaction to the wally-world asterisk than most people. When I see it, I automatically think of a &#039;splat&#039;- which is what Unix programmers call the asterisk.

Welcome to Splat-Mart!

I shop there only when I have to, or I need to walk a long distance in a sheltered space. My new &#039;supercenter&#039; is huge, so I can do a few laps inside it and get some exercise in!</description>
