Fascinating stuff.

In Denmark it's benzin for gasoline and diesel for diesel.

Unleaded and Diesel!

Both of which are called "gas". Well, I've never heard a trucker say "I need to stop for diesel" anyway.

Gasoline is diesel. 

Nope, at least not in Poland. Benzyna (Polish for gasoline) usually means either non-diesel gasoline or all gasoline. "Ropa" (oil) is used to mean diesel solely.

Anchorage police report details Palin family brawl

Police in Alaska have released a report describing a drunken brawl involving the son, daughter and husband of Republican former governor Sarah Palin.

According to the report, Mrs Palin's children Track and Bristol and husband Todd were involved in physical altercations at a birthday party.

Prosecutors have declined to press charges in the 6 September incident.

Mrs Palin ran for US vice-president in 2008 and remains popular among the Republican Party's conservative base.

She stepped down from the governorship of Alaska in 2009. She has since had a career in television and remains popular on the conservative speaking circuit.
'Belligerent and intoxicated'

On the evening of 6 September, police were called to the Anchorage home of a man named Korey Klingenmeyer after a report of a brawl involving as many as 20 people.

According to witness statements, which are vague about the initial cause of the fighting, the Palin family and their entourage arrived at the house about 23:00 in a limousine.

Todd and Track, 26, ended up in one fight with a group of men on the street outside the house, while Bristol Palin, 23, got into an altercation with the party host.

Track Palin, described as bloodied, "belligerent" and "heavily intoxicated", told police the family had come to the house to join the party, and that the fight began when a group of men began speaking rudely to his sisters and one of them "sucker punched" a friend.

In an effort to fix my recent hair troubles I am going to wash my hair with recently boiled water. Damn hard water. Which is not the same as heavy water no matter how many times I mis-speak.
