Ditch 'em all. The Olympics is already bloated with far too many games that only appeals to an exclusive niche community.

An entire waste of a day, being asked by lawyers a lot of oddball questions, and only being paid about $30 a day for your trouble - you be the judge if it's really worth it. Having gone through it...I'd rather pass if called again.

I wonder who he's point to? The person who's going to be stuck paying the bill?

Better yet, why not use a rubber mallet, like a "whack-the-mole" kinda thing with the alarm clock?

It's a desperate attempt to cover the fact that they are lonely and/or sterile.

I suppose that armed robberies are a new concept in Japan, and this is why it made the nation's top crime story of the day? Wow!

For much the same reason that those same people feel the need to plunk down 100,000 Yen for a Louis Vuitton purse, when an ordinary well made purse that cost ten times less will do the job - peer pressure to maintain a superficial image.

And to quote George Carlin, "...I know that a little later on this year, your going to have another one of those really swell presidential elections that you like so much. You'll enjoy yourselves, it'll be a lot of fun. I'm sure that as soon as the election's over, your country will improve immediately..."

Either one that gets into office is going to have to raise taxes to pay for the national debt. It's all a scam.

Total bunk about the sugar, and very questionable about the mothballs. Sugar doesn't caramelize in the combustion chamber of the engine like many people think it does. All the sugar (you could use sand and get the same effect) does is sit at the bottom of the gas tank, and any of the sugar that doesn't stay there is going to be caught by the fuel sock that's attached to the fuel pump in the gas tank. Naphthalene (IE mothballs or C10H8 for you chemical engineers) however, will screw up the gasoline by making it into a derivative of benzene (by adding about one mothball per liter of gas) - basically it'd make the car belch black smoke from the tailpipe and might impact the catalytic converter.
If you're wanting to ruin a person's car by pouring chemicals into their gas tank, try bleach (IE NaClO) instead...it'll oxidize through the lining of the gas tank (IE rust it up pretty badly).

It really didn't stay in the theaters too long. It's going to be released on Blu-Ray Region 1 on November 18th. Rather quick home release since it was shown in theaters back in June of this year.

It does not matter where you produce your product, nor would most educated consumers really care. If your manufacturing process is sound, the material is of the best quality, and your personnel are proud of their craft, the quality of the item built will be unquestionable. The only question is how much are you willing to pay for the quality.

I guess the fingerprinting system at the airports missed public enemy number one. Time for enhanced biometrics.
