  1. Forgive my fat fingers Fairweather
  2. Because Israel had launched a surprise attack in the 7 Day war 6 years earlier that they wished to reclaim. Israel is quite large compared with Vatican City, San Marino, Monaco, Lichtenstein or Andorra. I love the historical myopia of Middle East arguments.
  3. Comeon Archenemy,
  4. Ahh PP, and the relevancy of a per mile calculation is...? If Italians lived in Ohio, Wisconsin or North Dakota they wouldn't have many accidents!

    War

    Funny, I don't think that war was meant to solve our problems.

    War

    Ahh... Afghanistan. I remember when the media cared about that country. Elections delayed twice. Continuing strife. Blossoming drug production. Terrorists still on the loose. Ahh, the sweet smell of success!
  10. Or focus their rage?

  12. Just my ass.
  13. Both are factually correct, one has detail. Still trying to explain away ?
  14. Since when is a summary a dramatic escalation?

  16. LONDON, Aug. 16 -- A Brazilian man mistakenly shot by British police last month did not vault over a subway turnstile or run away and was being restrained by one officer when another shot him eight times, ITV News reported Tuesday, citing leaked police documents, witness statements and photographs. Further, the television channel reported, Jean Charles de Menezes was not wearing a padded jacket that police have said led them to believe he could be concealing a bomb. A photograph of Menezes broadcast by ITV News on Tuesday night showed him lying in a pool of blood, wearing jeans and what appeared to be a shirt or jacket. According to a witness statement, he had been wearing a light denim jacket. Scotland Yard said Tuesday that it would not be proper to comment on the report until a full account on the killing had been prepared. The ITV report said police surveillance indicated Mendez had taken a bus from his apartment to the Stockwell subway station, where he calmly picked up a newspaper and walked through the turnstiles. Differing with versions provided by police, ITV News said Menezes only ran as a train approached, as did others around him. Once on the train, according to what the channel said was a leaked police statement aired Tuesday night, a police officer pinned Menezes down when another officer shot him. A coroner's report said he was shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder. Scotland Yard officials have said repeatedly that the incident occurred in the highly charged atmosphere one day after the failed July 21 bombings, and two weeks after four bombs involving a bus and three subway lines killed 56 people, including the presumed bombers, and injured 700. Family members have said Menezes, 27, was an innocent bystander who happened to live on a block where police were monitoring the apartment of a suspected bomber.
  17. Perhaps there's a market for Zoroastrian "Towers of Silence" in the suburbs?

    whatcha reading?

    I'd always assumed it was a century of the, or one of the top, per capita incomes in the world. For those interested in oil "The Prize" - Daniel Yergin, gives a great history up to GW1 of the oil business, with such interesting sidenotes as Aristotle Onassis's whale foreskin bar stools.
  19. I don't think it's neccessarily a parabola, circle or any conic section. I know the sidecuts of my skis aren't circular. I believe the sidecut "radius" is calculated by assuming a circle of sidecut and using length of ski & width at tip, mid and tail - probably the equation you derived.
  20. "May I join you?" the foreigner asked civilly, and the friends involuntarily moved apart. The foreigner slipped in between them and immediately entered the conversation. "If I heard correctly, you said that Jesus never existed?" he asked, turning his green left eye to Berlioz. "You heard correctly," Berlioz answered courteously. "That was precisely what I said!" "Ah, how interesting!" exclaimed the foreigner. "What the devil does he want?" Homeless thought, frowning
