This is normal in Italy, where every third guido speaks some Japanese, and will do anything for their money. Seen it in Firenze, Venezia, and Milano.

Exactly, this is a crime. It is negligent homicide at the very least. Why would anyone think it is even in the slightest bit Ok to leave anything living in a car? Not good folks. RIP kids.

So they may have a lead on two cases, one 19 years old and another 13 years old? Why is this in the news? Catch the perp, then call it news.

I have asked the same question. Use desalinization plants. But I guess that's too easy. I think there is a small one here, but I can't confirm that.

Actually, a Hummer does not produce that much in the way of excess CO2, unlike older, untuned cars. It's actually pretty good. It's just a crutch for greenies.

goldsounds: nice. disband the J-military and send the US home. It may take a day or two, but the new language of Japan would be Chinese just after your suggestion is complete. The Japanese can not be "Swiss-like neutral". They would get killed.

The F-35 would be the better bet,…
