Very neat: http://pinktentacle.com/2009/10/animated-stereoviews-of-old-japan/

No, no tentacle-rape. Just 3-D-ish old photos of Japan.  ;)

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."

Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Why is it that sumo wrestlers in the late XIXth century are slim athletes and today are blubby tubs of lard?

Professional athletes tend to look more unusual than amateurs.

This is weird, I don't get it.

Thats it I guess.
Compare regular athletes of that time (runners and the ilk) to modern ones too- they looked like regular guys.

They come in all forms and sizes - both then and today.
If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

- Bruce Lee

Thanks, Mal.  I enoyed that far more than I do the usual "Languish link."

That isn't damning with faint praise, BTW.  :P
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

That was as big as they got in those days, rare fattish one then. That's something that's evolved over the last century.

Yep, and I think that change is mainly due to how lucrative pro sports became. People now have to spend more time molding their body into one that can compete at their sport.

If they hadn't, there'd have been no Hiroshima or Nagasaki nuclear bombing.
