While I don't 100% agree with DS, I think he does make a point. IMO, it was rather silly (and a stab at China) by wearing masks right off the plane inside the airport.

But as DS said, Chinese all over the country wear masks on a daily basis and when in Rome.....

Pepin,

From what I understand, it is illegal for Chinese citizens to sell the tickets. This is of course word of mouth so I may be wrong.

Sarcasm,

I think you just brought the pwn out on Coligny. I will be amazed if s/he comes back to try and answer your questions. Well done!

Madverts:

Torture is torture. It's against the American way.

Against the American way, yes. American orginizations torturing and teaching other allies how to properly torture however......

I have not done much research but still think the iPhone is cool. My girlfriend though has two major reasons not to want one yet... As mentioned above, one is that she doesn't know if they have a hole for her many many MANY straps. The other is that she doesn't know if they have the "cute Japanese kaomoji" that she oh so adores.

Anyone know if the iPhone has these things?

Brainiac,

Ya, I would say teachers, but perhaps I would add that it is also at toss up between them and cops?

Damn, I never thought America could have been taken over as the land with the most obese people. I can't say that Americans would want to be #1 in this category.... However, I could be wrong. Does Australia have competitive eating "sports" too? What is on the plate in their competitions?

Very true adaydream.

I did notice, and here I will prove just how out of touch with the goings-on in Latin America, that Chavez seemed to be supporting Colombia.

Chavez added that “if some European country starts to apply this and jails Colombians, Paraguayans, Bolivians, Ecuadoreans, then we’re going to make our own list of companies from that country that have investments in Venezuela.

Was it not just a few months ago that those two countries were at eachother's throats? Anyone care to enlighten me as to why Chavez seems to like Colombia now?
