					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;And then there’s that lonely zero.&lt;/i&gt;

Just have to wait until 6/26/2226. Or we could wait until 6/26/2060 and then the zero wouldn&#039;t be lonely. But I&#039;m sure there&#039;s at least a couple of billionaires who think they could make it to 2226.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Lucius Washington: I don&#039;t wanna rain on your parade, but that was some of the dumbest driving I have ever seen in my life.

Ricky Bobby: Thank you.

Lucius Washington: Now, I know you won the race, but you&#039;re not gonna live forever.

Ricky Bobby: Oh, I&#039;m not stupid, Lucius. No one lives forever. No one. But with advances in modern science, and my high level of income, I mean, it&#039;s not crazy to think I can&#039;t live to be 245, maybe 300. Heck, I just read in the newspaper that they put a pig heart in some guy from Russia. Do you know what that means?

Lucius Washington: No, I don&#039;t know what that means. I guess, uh, longer life.

Ricky Bobby: Well, no, he didn&#039;t live.

Lucius Washington: Oh, he didn&#039;t live?

Ricky Bobby: I mean, it&#039;s just exciting that we&#039;re tryin&#039; things like that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>
