And where, exactly, are you supposed to get those pennies then?

They would have to be pennies made before 1982. Pennies now are made out of zinc, with just a thin coating of copper on top.

This is ridiculous.

Nobody expected it to be a "real" battle. At the time, people still thought the Civil War would be just a minor little war with a couple of little battles. They were expecting the whole to be over in a couple of months.

Yeah, I know!

At the company where I work, they always use Excel to draft documents. Whenever I suggest that I would prefer to use Word to draft documents, they say, "But it's so hard to make documents in Word. Excel is so much easier."

China and the EU have the most Internet users?

Although I never, ever forgave Gamepro for their review of Xenogears, that still is kind of sad.

They'd better have one hell of a spam filter, because they are going to get spammed up the ass.

Or, to be more accurate, "Men have fought and died to spend a few seconds inside of it and then lose all interest in it entirely for at least a couple of hours."

In Japanese, the verb comes at the end of the sentence, so you have to do it that way.

I only very recently learned that not everyone does that. I had always just assumed that it was natural.

All of my dreams look like something directed by David Lynch.

Having been to TGS three times, I can give plenty of reasons why I don't want to go there again. Maybe if they'd throw in press passes...

Google's market share in Japan is small because they only office search and their search function doesn't offer anything that Yahoo's doesn't.

This is a country where women who have been raped are thrown into prison for "adultery." You're saying "Wait, what?" over this?

@Ironandre: How is it that you have a commenter account?

Well, that was quick...

"Miyagi province?"
