I guess this "survey" is an attempt by JT to find out the general IQ level of its English language readership. Let's see if it nudges the century mark.

@mistersmarmy seems to be completely unaware that they DID go back. Five times, in fact, after the first landing. Why don't they continue to go back and forth? It's an AIRLESS ROCK that is HIDEOUSLY EXPENSIVE to get to and from, and there just isn't much you can do once…

They pitched to Ichiro with 1st base open and the game on the line in extra innings. You are not going to win too many baseball games with that kind of strategy.

"Ryoko Hirosue of the Oscar-winning film ‘Okuribito’" ...

Yeah, just about everyone in the film carted off a justly deserved award, except Ryoko. As usual, she overacted to the hilt, and didn't deserve one. Her appearance fees should definitely be discounted.

In this society, it's very, very hard to imagine someone suspected of a well publicized murder getting along without any support. Someone is supporting him, actively or passively, or both. If it's organized crime, the police should try putting unbearable heat on them, with the clear message that the status…

How anyone can have a strong opinion on this question either way is simply beyond me. I can understand hope, and faith to an extent, but conviction about things we obviously know little about mystifies me.

If you want to lose weight, it's pretty simple:

1) get on the scale once a day at about the same time of day

2) log the results, including your 7- and 21-day average -- again without fail

Failure to do either one will result in diet failure.

The 'H' stands for haemagglutinin, which can mutate its shape. The 'N' stands for neuraminidase -- both are projections outside the viral envelope that allow it to invade cells.

For a very cool illustration of the flu life cycle -- how it invades a cell and takes over -- see:…

There was no plan for a full invasion. It was a carrier-based raid, and all 4 of the carriers that raided Darwin were lost a few months later at Midway.

donkusai is correct. Troops landed on a few islands, but not on the mainland.
