  4-year-old alone in the apartment? In US/Canada, the parents would be arrested and charged for child negligence and the child will be under the arms of social service right away.

  Nice fur, but it is really unnecessary if you live in a metropolitan. You only need it if you live in the arctic.

  I hope it is better than the crap "Doomsday 2012". That whole film is a lot like those religious cult flicks.

  So, that's miss universe Japan. I haven't been paying attention to any of those beauty contests for a long long time. Isn't the kimono kind of sleazy?

  To societymike, congratulations on your twins.

  If I have to do it again, YES, I will let both of my boys learn different languages since birth again. They do have strange ascents and you can tell that they are from overseas but that does not really matter because they can communicate with others without issues. I also notice that they do not have enough vocabulary, but they could pick up more over time.

  The bright side is they can always work as a translators :)

  Both of my sons (12 and 6) speak 4 languages. I speak to them in my own. My wife speak to them in her own. They attend French school and pick up English from TV, friends and when me and my wife talk to each other. We purposely let them picked up different languages since birth. I remember watching a PBS program a long time ago mentioned that a baby could actually identify 50 different languages. And, yes, they pick up those languages really quick.

  I wonder if they go as far as making the cockpit interior.
