Rugbyfan,

I've been to the US a few times and really don't like it when a tip is expected, especially when you can tell that the waiter is "pretending" to be nice. The same thing goes for some US airlines like United. I found the cabin attendants to be really…

USGS maintains that this quake was a magnitude 7.1 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2009kcaz.php

I wonder where the disparity comes from.

There is a considerable difference (2X?) between a 6.9 and a 7.1.

It is interesting to note that more than one woman in Oblasser’s book reported using traditional Chinese medicine to re-establish the energetic flow of (severed) meridians after the birth.

It's only interesting if you are duped by this pseudoscientific nonsense. Others understand what the placebo effect is.

burger, whose sauce has been slightly adapted to Japanese tastes

I was just about to go get one until I read this.
