Wales gets cold and lonely sometimes.

Yes, thus the unnamed thing that the welsh are best at. But I'm pretty sure that "nuclear physics" is a euphemism for that. "astrophysics" maybe, what with black holes and whatnot... but not "nuclear physics"
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
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.

For anyone interested, there is a slew of rather interesting articles about the riots in this week's The Economist.

It appears the British police did nothing wrong per se - it was simply devoid of tools to combat the new "flash mob" style rioting (thanks to Black Berries the rioters turned themselves effectively formless, a'la Sun Tzu's teachings).

My personal, rather disturbing, conclusion from all this is that there will be stronger than ever pressure on breaching online communication privacy by the police from now on.

This does not disturb me in the slightest.  It's my hope that one day your posts here will be hung on the walls of your workplace.
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

Why would I have used the quote marks if I actually meant nuclear physics? :contract:

Yeah, but they don't really care about you.  Your madness makes you orderly.

Lemons and lime the same thing?  Who was the argument between, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles?

Apparently, in Mexico they use limón to refer to both lemon and lime.  I think the rest of Latin America tends to differentiate the two-- usually into limón and lima, respectively.

I mean, they're similar, but seems like they'd be forced to differentiate "limon verde" and "limon amarillo."  And maybe they do, since when I google "limon verde" I get tons of pictures of limes. :P
It's impossible to get limes in Korea! :angry:
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.
