From the makers of "this is the hardest name that country quiz you will take today" comes "this is the hardest name that flag quiz you will take today"!

16/18 - missed Rwanda and Gabon. I got a few 50/50 guesses right, though.

They could be real dicks have you try to choose between Romania and Chad.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The town you live in looks like a great locale to go running in.

Go running.

What are you looking for?  Try Googling something like No Equipment Workouts and you should get some workout plans that don't require buying anything.  Some use bike riding for cardio but you are a Euro so that shouldn't be a problem.

How much weight have you gained since I saw you?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I think my neighbourhood might be gentryfying. Within the block I live there have recently opened: a hipster organic food store and bar; a wine store cum restaurant with queues and like 5 tables inside; another bare-bones Italian restaurant selling Italian gourmet food for take away; a weekly fresh Atlantic fish market with fish flown from Portugal; an Israeli-Lebanese coffee shop; a lesbian crepes/champagne bar; Bang-Olufsen boutique; and a pet clothes store. :unsure:

Edit: forgot a French boulangerie with overpriced baguettes and tiny marmelade jars.

I should, despite my wonky knee that I now know the doctors haven't got a clue about.
It will help me to feel healthier but won't make much of a difference otherwise though.

Thanks to a tax reform I'll have over 100 EUR extra per month next year.

The increase of the VAT from 10 to 13% will eat 20-30 EUR of that.<_<

Oops, hang on, the increase is only for a few areas, like hotels, movie theaters, museums, and other things more likely to be paid for by tourists.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Found this piece really interesting:
http://newsweekpakistan.com/uneasy-conversations/

That was really interesting. Thank you for sharing that. I have heard about the war in passing but know nothing about it. Considering how the creation of Pakistan went in 1947 I figured it was probably very nasty.
And allegedly America's role in it is also pretty nasty:

Two observations about porn recently:

1) I'm digging the "superheroine" lesbian bondage forced orgasm stuff, neat twist on an old favorite
2) what's with all the spitting in the mouth these days?
