9:30am boy goes missing. 1:50pm dog finds boy, 1km from the campsite. What were the 200 police doing? Making sure their uniforms were neat and tidy before they began the search?

Rumor has it that mccain is going to pick cheney as his VP. Why bother chaing the VP when he has been so successful. As bush and mccain are so much alike it will be four more years then of the same ol same ol. Great ready for failed war…

timeon: I don't know where you got that information but it sounds like an old wives tale to me. I've yet to read any definitive study that says long-distance running causes the problems you mentioned. (See below) And keep in mind that though the Tokyo Marathon is 42.195 km, when…

rumsfeld, cheney, the whole lot of them had been in government since the 70s. When they took over the crowed about their experience as opposed to Clinton. Two wars later, a broke government, a near depression, america's fall from grace worldwide, katrina, etc, etc, etc we see just how much…

To continue along the line of your human body analogy, can you explain what the treatment is for hypothermia or hyperthermia? Does the body self regulate or is hospitalization required when its core temperature reaches or exceeds certain threshold temperatures?

Sorry but at the risk of being flamed I have to say that though these women might look okay your typical Japanese woman / girl looks far better in a skirt or dress than in jeans, especially tight ones. There are too many women who are way too skinny, flat-bottomed,…
