But that video is also been ruled out as a hoax, And years latter a prof
2 Students Are Accused Of Altering Grades In Computer

I nearly died after seeing this article after laughing so hard and they list quite a few of them but I pick my favorite ones.QUOTE- In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet.That one really got me going, but odds are that there is a counter law about that kind of exposure unless they do it in private somewhere. Either way I would dare someone to take that law seriously and turns a cop's hat into a potty .QU
There are many ways to handle insecurity, some of them are effective, some others not. This is what I think is one of the last kind: a member of the local parlament is now working with Google and a national security organization to make an insecurity map, filling tables and percentages with people's complaints. It's cool, now we are learning where we don't have to walk, and where we can (maybe?) hide. I guess it's ok, but I can't even see it right now. It seems it's even

I thought it might be interesting to see what people think about America.I've found through my travels to Europe and the Near East, people look at Americans as fat, rude, and abraisive.

Even if we make an attempt to speak the language, they get pretty pissed off when your first question is 'do you speak english?'I'd like to say that not all America

200 Mongooses Released To Solve Snake Problem
Hey There are these caves called Elephanta caves in India.

Gestalt is a German word that has no exact equivalent in English. Form, shape, configuration, or pattern come close; "organizational essence" perhaps comes closer.

The field that has evolved from these studies is called "Gestalt psychology but that is another topic.
since the "Your Name In Chinese" thread has experienced a resurgence of interest the past few days., i thought i'd add the "Your Name In Japanese" in the hope it piques your interest as well. i was just lazily reading my usual feeds via RSS and this cropped out, out of the blue: http://www.japanesetranslator.co.uk/your-name-in-japanese/here's a sample name: GEORGE (as in Dubya -- another resurging name in trap17 threads ) which is said to be pronounced as "JOOJI

The universe perhaps just got larger.A

Three kids went out looking for a story over in Africa the day that the war between the United States and Iraq started. They weren't sure what they were looking for and they found it. They made a documentary of a place in Uganda and the children that live there. They don't really have much of a place to live, hundreds of them live in small buildings and are lucky to have a bed. They mostly sleep on crowded floors with no room whatsoever. Many are abducted everyday and are brainwashe
