Nothing sadder than when England copies America. It's like watching an old dude trying to dance techno at a club. Or whatever you kids are listening to these days.

Pet movers - handle the logistics and bureaucracy of moving animals internationally. I've not used one, but the cost is said to be comparable to doing it yourself.

Well, what it is is a quiz testing how well you can pick out photographs of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese faces. I think the makers, whether deliberately or not, failed to include that unknown percentage of people who are unmistakably one ethnicity or another. Nevertheless, despite being Asian myself I've retaken it…

How did you think they got such a high suicide rate?

I'm curious about this. Where can I find out how to get a master-made one? What are they checking for?

Your sons have suits of armor? I think that's the more interesting story here.

How was he shot twice and not killed? Not even really bleeding.

"Q: How do you stop a Polish tank?

Then when you run out to your neighborhood and ask for help, they all tell you "Nah I think Japan should be allowed to do that cause he's more sophisticated than you."

Well, it's not unknown for people to believe they're allergic when they're actually experiencing something psychosomatic. It's also been surmised that a lot of allergies come out of lack of exposure to filth. And when someone has a whole bunch of non-observable problems without a common source (nut allergy and asthma…

Not that 33 hours wasn't too long, but he does strike me as one of those hypersensitive types. Hope this toughened him up a little.

I think it's mostly a movie/TV/comic book trope to indicate suicide. No need to manufacture exotic explanations like The Chin does.

Really? With the too-skinny ankles and the shoes tied to the railing? I'm not sure what that's supposed to look like but it sure don't look lethal to me. I think in all likelihood he was just being a good sport, someone passed the picture around, and other people misunderstood.

Why don't we just say people who say things like that are dicks, and they need to learn to not be dicks, than that all the rest of us should tip-toe around people's assumed-fragile egos and say what we know isn't true. And how constructive a message is it to tell someone that your ego is fragile and we should all just…

If you're looking at the people who made fun of her, that's true. If you're focusing on her, I think it is a healthy message. She suffered negative criticism, and rather than get angry at others about it, go into denial, or misdirect it on herself, turned it on something she can do to push her through a difficult…

It could be a lot easier for some people to maintain tremendous effort over a short period of time than medium effort over a long period of time. Maybe this was the only way she could stay motivated.

Be careful about the whole "Western influence" thing. Cultures aren't static things to begin with, and change for all kinds of reasons. The eroding of traditional values is a lament of old-timers universally, including in the West. If you've ever heard how something's no longer done the way it used to be done, chances…

Not incorrect, yes, but idiotic.

You'd think with everybody having a camera phone on them these days, there'd be an explosion of new UFO photos. In fact, when's the last time you heard a UFO sighting reported?
