I recently visited the underground nuclear reactor that was the major producer of plutonium for the Swedish atomic bomb program. Pretty cool place. :ph34r:

Ordered Jamaican beef hot pot for dinner. :mmm:

I will regret this tomorrow. :blush:

Looks like a normal stew in pictures, how is it made? What's special about it? I guess it's quite spicy.

Yes, it's basically beef in a very hot/spicy sauce, served with congri (http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/congri-black-beans-rice.aspx)

russias made me laugh.

Also, the reverse ones seem weird to me. Like (Sweden and Norway)
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Why is that so weird?  I'd expect that, actually.  It's two linguistically-similar countries with similar cultures, making it rather easy for emigrants to get settled in the new country.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

When I think of immigrants I think of people leaving for better opportunities, country switching would indicate equal opportunities. Perhaps I'm just over thinking it.
