Resolved Question: I want to know what this jazz song (probably from the 1960's) is?

I have tried finding this song on iTunes - nothing. I tried "Shazam" on my iPhone and it didn't recognize it. So I'm asking if anyone knows what this song is and where I could find a good recording of it. Here are the lyrics as best as I can figure them out: I wanna be famous, I want to wear minks and satins and pearls I wanna be famous, more than just any old girl I wanna have eyes as blue as the sea I want all the people to look at me I want my own show on tv, I wanna be "That Girl" I wanna be famous, eat out at Saudi's, have parties at (Spites?) I wanna be famous, go to Paris on private flights I want to have lovers by the score Movie producers knockin' down my door This is the fate that is in store for me When I'm famous I will wear a gray trench-coat and fake red hair So they all will know that it is me When they'll see me, how they'll smile, hand me photographs to sign I'll say, "Sorry babe, nothing's free!" I wanna be famous, tabloids will print what I eat I wanna be famous, who I do will be news on the street When I'm old I'll have a ball They'll be shocked that I'm living at all When I enter, the guests will fall to their knees I'll slit the throats of my enemies Spend all my dough on wine and cheese When I'm famous When I'm famous When I'm famous <sax solo> I will be a Barbie-doll, have big fake tits, no hips at all And a heinous attitude in tow Every morning I'll get high on colored(?) pills, martini's dry, A little weed, and just a touch of blow I wanna be famous, I wanna be better than all of my friends I wanna be famous, lonely and alone at the end I'll end up bitter, ugly, and old Not just my body but also my soul But a legend is my goal, and a legend I'll be, you'll see That when I'm famous, not a whit I'll give to the "little people", my own damn kids When I'm famous When I'm famous When I'm famous more

Resolved Question: Summarize in four sentences?

Section: Books and arts A biography of Jacques Cousteau Jacques Cousteau: The Sea King By Brad Matsen Pantheon Books; 320 Pages; $27.95 THIRTY years ago Jacques-Yves Cousteau was reckoned to be one of the ten most recognised men in the world. This biography, uncritical but revealing, shows how that happened. Nominally a captain in the French navy, Cousteau spent most of his working life pioneering a new form of celebrity, that of the TV explorer. With his ship, the converted minesweeper Calypso, and a crew of divers with attractive French accents and film-star looks, he patrolled the more photogenic corners of the oceans and documented these exploits in books and television programmes that turned him into a global godfather of undersea adventure. The secret of this success, explains Brad Matsen, the author of many books and articles about the sea, was nothing to do with the science of oceanography or indeed the science of anything. It was to do with television. In "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau", the documentary series that ran from 1968 and was shown all over the world, and its successor, "The Jacques Cousteau Odyssey", he hit on the thing of which every TV producer dreams: a near-perfect small-screen formula. First there was the boat. With its attractive lines glowing a telegenic white against the dark ocean, Calypso was an enclosed world, a drama in itself. Then there was the technology. Cousteau was a genuine innovator, having had a hand in developing an underwater breathing apparatus as well as refining techniques for underwater filming and dreaming up nifty little one- or two-person submarines. Above all, he insisted that the technology looked good, especially on film. He was not competing with universities or research institutes but with "Thunderbirds" and James Bond. And then came the adventure. Every episode made some claim to serious scientific purpose, but the demands of television docudrama meant that sharks, dolphins, whales and buried treasure made very frequent appearances in the schedule. Divers would descend, smiling and joking. Then, suddenly, there was danger--but you could be sure that in the end the divers would be back around the dining table, the wine would flow, and up on the bridge lit only by the ghostly glow of the radar scanner, Captain Cousteau would be plotting course for next week's adventure. So it may come as a surprise to those who grew up with the captain to find that in the years of his great celebrity, Cousteau was rarely on board the Calypso. He had a helicopter landing pad built on the ship which enabled him to fly in for an occasional hour or two of filming. Many episodes were actually a fricassee of archive footage spiced with more recent shots. So where was the captain while Calypso roved? By the 1970s Cousteau was effectively a multinational CEO, dividing his time between lecturing, lobbying and raising money. He divided his time in other ways too: on the death of his wife Simone in 1990, the Cousteau children were surprised to discover that for almost 20 years their father had maintained in secret a second family--a family that now controls the Cousteau estate and legacy. So what is Cousteau's legacy? If you consult the index of "A History of Oceanography", a scholarly account published at the very height of his fame, you will find no entries at all under his name. His real contribution was to stoke the popular imagination with images of life beneath the surface of the seas, as seen by men in well-tailored diving gear. more

Resolved Question: Physics homework problem about fluid?

A simple hydrometer is an instrument for measuring the specific gravity of a liquid. For example, vintners use a hydrometer to determine the density changes as wine is fermented, and producers of maple sugar and maple syrup use the hydrometer to find how much sugar is in the collected sap. Markings along a stem are calibrated to indicate the specific gravity for the level at which the hydrometer floats in a liquid (the figure below ). The weighted base ensures that the hydrometer floats vertically. Suppose the hydrometer has a cylindrical stem of cross-sectional area 0.408 cm2. The total volume of the bulb and stem is 8.80 cm3 and the mass of the hydrometer is 4.80 g. (a) How far from the top of the cylinder should a mark be placed to indicate a specific gravity of 1.04? (b) When the hydrometer is placed in alcohol, it floats with 7.26 cm of stem above the surface. What is the specific gravity of the alcohol? (c) What is the lowest specific gravity that can be measured with this hydrometer? more

Don't get me wrong, I am sexually turned on my women in microdresses and moderate coverage bikinis, but his wife was dressed skimpy like in every scene to the point that it was unrealistic, always in that skimpy tanktop and short shorts ready for bed pajama-like material.

Resolved Question: for all you pink Floyd fans out their did you hear they have a wine called pink Floyd?

June 6 (Bloomberg) -- Who knew I would ever have anything in common with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? It turns out we're *like*this* when it comes to wine, because we're all fans of Chateau Miraval. That's the extraordinarily beautiful and secluded wine estate in Provence that they have just rented for three years. Lucky them -- and I can vouch for it. I spent a couple of nights there nine years ago while tasting my way through the region and can report that the world's most famous couple will have more than decent wines to sip when in residence. Miraval now produces three fish-friendly dry whites, two savory reds, a delicious dry rose and a luscious sweet wine, L'Or de Miraval. Tile roofs, sky-blue shutters, warm creamy stone, plashing fountains, 13 varieties of olive trees on a steep terraced hillside, 75 acres of vineyards -- Miraval is everyone's secret dream of a home in the south of France. From my room in the 14th- century part of the chateau, the view stretched over a wide green lawn to rows of vines. A deep, claw-footed tub by one window offered the same vista while I was lolling in the bath, a glass of refreshing rose in hand. (I take my research seriously.) After breakfast, on a terrace under a pergola, I sampled the estate's wines in a light-filled room off the country kitchen and later dined with neighboring producers in the long medieval hall with immense fireplace. I also took a peek at the recording studio on the property (Sting once used it; the Stones left after one night -- not enough local action). The estate even has a tiny private chapel, whose dark blue painted ceiling is dotted with white stars. `Out of the Sky' For the past two months, the French press reported Brad and Angelina crisscrossing France in a helicopter, hunting for a private spot to escape hordes of paparazzi. Tom Bove, whose family owns the property, told me last week ``they dropped out of the sky.'' ``They're personally very nice,'' he said in the telephone interview. ``Brad is from the Midwest, as I am.'' (Hey, me too!) Bove, 65, is an Indiana-born businessman (Rochem Group) who fell in love with Miraval in 1992 when he and his first wife, Jane, were looking for a vacation home. He persuaded his family to purchase the 1,000-acre estate, where wine had been made for centuries. His wife took charge of the vineyards, and they set about vastly improving the wines' quality. Tragically, she died in a 1998 plane crash. Miraval Team The winery and vineyard will continue to be run by the Miraval team, Bove assures me. The Pitt-Jolie household, including four kids plus expected twins (who may or may not already have arrived when you read this), won't have to worry about toxic chemical sprays on the grapes since the vineyards are certified organic. And the nearby hamlet of Correns is the first ``bio'' (organic) village in France, meaning veggies, honey and chickens all carry the label. Besides celebs and St.-Tropez, Provence is, of course, noted for its gulpable rose wines. When Brad and Angelina first visited, they tried the savory, salmon-colored 2007 Chateau Miraval Cotes de Provence Rose ($16) with lunch. ``It's the first vintage to be labeled ``Pink Floyd,'' Bove says. (English rock band Pink Floyd recorded part of their iconic album ``The Wall'' at Studio Miraval.) Made from cinsault and grenache grapes, it's my idea of summer in a glass. ``And they took away a bottle of our top red, Cuvee Natouchka,'' Rove adds. The 100 percent syrah ($35) is made only in the best years. Their more widely available Cotes de Provence Rouge ($22) is a spicy, earthy-fruity syrah-cabernet blend. Zingy Whites Miraval's three whites are all made from the local rolle grape. The 2005 Coteaux Varois en Provence Blanc ($16) is zingy and assertive, with a hint of almond, perfect with grilled fish. Two more expensive barrel-aged cuvees, made in tiny quantities, are harder to come by. Naturally, the Brangelina buzz has already spurred sales. ``We've been inundated with calls from retailers,'' says Andrew Hirko, chief financial officer at the chateau's East Coast importer, Monarchia Matt International. ``We're sold out of the rose, and the red and white are nearly gone.'' The 2007 Pink Floyd will be on retail shelves soon. One of their biggest markets? Another celebrity haven, the Hamptons. ``I don't know how much time Brad and Angelina will be able to spend here,'' Bove says. ``But they liked Miraval's wines. I hope they'll drink them and serve them to their friends. Hey -- they can have as much as they want.'' (Elin McCoy writes on wine and spirits for Bloomberg News. The opinions expressed are her own.)

Resolved Question: Is this the history of liberals and conservatives?

For those that don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version: Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1 . Liberals, and 2. Conservatives. Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. Those became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass. Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing.. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. more

No one is doubting that. But come on now! Give it a rest! I also found this online: "For three straight weeks, American Idol producers give Adam Lambert the final performance slot on Tuesday’s shows. Simon Cowell tells Oprah Winfrey he thinks Adam will win the competition, then more or less instructs the Idol audience to vote for him.

The movie is one of those cheap movies done for cable I think. It was like a distorted version of the movie Sabrina. There was this girl who was a legal secretary or maybe just a secretary for a guy, he was the lazy brother and she was in love with him. Well the big brother was this guy that was super serious and huge I mean the guy is tall and built like a freaking mr. Universe. He has a funny nose. Anyway he decides to take the girl under his wing and takes her shopping and buys her a car and makes her pretty looking even though she is already pretty and then he ends up falling for her, not before he takes her to his house in a vinyard, I think that;s the business they have, they are wine producers in California. Anyway the guy and the girl end up realizing that they are good for each other and the other brother I think even helps him out by making him jealous so he can realize that the older brother is really in love with the girl. The movie wasnt even that good but it brings good memories and I would love to watch it again if I could remember the freaking name! Help please? Thank you. more

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals, and 2. Conservatives. Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass. Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. Here ends today's lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.

Resolved Question: I'm interested in starting a wine collection. How can I tell if a wine will ever be worth anything?

I'm talking 30 or so years down the road, when wine shopping, what major factors or producers should I be looking for that will end up being worth something? I'm thinking mainly red wines. How much should I be looking to spend per bottle that's roughly 2-5 years old?

Resolved Question: Is my essay any good? - Opinions please.?

I am 13. I know I write WAY too much, but my teacher gives little feedback; do you think it is any good?? (1943 words). How Significant was the Conquest of Mexico for the Aztecs? The Spanish Conquest of the Aztecs stands as one of the most significant and influential turning points of the western world. It opened the way for European colonization and brought forth vast changes on the new world that are still felt today. It changed the culture, religion, and a whole new way of life for the inhabitants and descendants of the entire region; since the late 1400’s Spanish explorers had been charting and claiming parts of the new world for the throne of Spain. In the following paragraphs, I will attempt to display some major and minor impacts that occurred in the Aztec world during the conquest of Mexico which changed so many innocent lives of the great people that made up this strong empire. The conquest of Mexico proved to have great significance on the population; it greatly affected them in areas including: Law, Hierarchy, Religion, Culture (Religion and Beliefs), Marriage, Language, Food and Trade. The Conquest of Mexico in 1521 gave rise to one of the richest culinary revolutions in history. When the Spanish explorer Cortez and his followers came to the new world in search of fortune, they found a wealth of culinary specialties such as chocolate, peanuts, vanilla, beans, squash, avocados, coconuts, corn and tomatoes. Before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors the Aztec farmers were independent producers and traded locally, keeping their profits after paying their taxes and sacrificing wares to their Gods. Subsequent to the Spanish invasion, a feudal system was introduced which meant each Spanish Peninsular took control of the land and 500 estates were formed. The Aztec’s became the slaves to their new masters, working the land in return for food and shelter, although this responsibility was often neglected by the Spanish. Unfortunately for the Aztec people, this meant two things: that they had to work for far longer hours every day to farm this exotic produce; and also, this meant that the Aztec people were stripped of their local delicacies. However, this was not as bad as it may first seem for the vulnerable Aztecs, in turn the Spanish brought to the Aztec captor’s products such as: pork, beef, lamb, citrus fruits, garlic, cheese, milk, wheat, vinegar and wine. Although this was of a high significance compared to many other things that the Aztecs had previously experienced, such as battles fought against other indigenous colonies; sorting the food and trade out was not the Aztec’s highest priority at that time as other impacts of this invasion would have had greater consequences on their culture. This shows us that effects upon farming, food and trade are all linked and when one aspect of those areas is altered, all the others are affected in some way. The Aztec hierarchy before the conquest simply consisted of noble-men, warriors and advisors; although, if it was looked at more carefully it deemed to be far more complex. The Aztec priests were supported by the efforts of other people. They did not grow their own food or make their own clothes; priests enjoyed power and privilege. The priests formed part of the upper class. Aztec society, like all complex societies, had different social classes. People at the top - nobles, high priests, and people important in the military and government - had lives of luxury, with fine houses, clothing, and jewellery. The largest class was made up of commoners, such as farmers and servants. In Aztec society, commoners were organized into clans, or groups, made up of many different families. Merchants formed yet another class in Aztec society, separate from the commoners. The Aztecs carried on a great deal of trade with other Indian nations. After the conquest, the hierarchy of society differed a lot; the upper-class consisted of: Cortez, important colonels and royalty of the Spanish kingdom. The Middle class consisted of: Christian priests and Spanish warriors. The lower-class was made up of: slaves, Aztec survivors and Mezitos (The children of Spanish men married to Aztec women). The Spanish conquest had a rather large impact on the hierarchy of society as the Aztecs were pushed from the top, right to the bottom of the chain. This shows us that they had their reasons to revolt as what they considered very important people such as priests were pushed into slavery in a class below some former commoners. Religion was extremely important in Aztec life. They worshipped hundreds of gods and goddesses, each of whom ruled one or more human activity or aspects of nature. The people had many agricultural gods because their culture was based heavily on farming. Each place and each trade had its patron deity: each day, and each part of the day, was watched over by its own god. Priests were expected to live in chastity, to mortify their flesh, and to understand astronomy, astrology, the complex rituals and ceremonies. The common people seem to have preferred the less fancy, more accessible gods: the patrons of the craft guilds, the protectors of local shrines, and the gods who looked after the things of everyday life. For everyone, however, rich or poor, each month of the Aztec calendar had its festival, with music, dancing and sacrifices. Ultimately, they believed their world would again end in disaster; the Aztecs believed that the world had been created and destroyed several times. The Aztecs thought that their special purpose in life was to delay that destruction. They sacrificed to the god of war and the sun to keep the sun in the sky and avoid destruction for as long as possible. Many other Aztec gods controlled natural forces. For example, there was a god of rain and a god of wind. These gods also required attention, although they might not have demanded human sacrifice. Life was very insecure, since thethere is A LOT more... more

Resolved Question: Are they jolly well serrious?

Sunday October 26, 02:55 PM Storm in a pint glass in Britain **************************** Geez I hope they dont do that to me Single Malt **************************************... LONDON (AFP) - British officials are looking at allowing pubs to serve two-thirds of a pint of beer as well as pints and half-pints, tinkering with a national icon in a break with centuries of tradition. The National Weights and Measures Laboratory (NWML) is contemplating proposals aimed at giving consumers greater choice over the measures of food and drink they can buy. Facing a downturn in profits due to the credit crunch, the smoking ban and rising alcohol taxes, pubs are keen to try out anything that may boost trade, in particular by tempting women who do not fancy drinking a whole pint (568 millilitres). The new measure could also be more suitable for popular European lagers, which are stronger than traditional British ales. Currently, draught beer and cider is served in Britain in pints or half pints. A third of a pint remains a legal measure, though it is rarely seen outside hardcore beer festivals. Any threat of fiddling with traditional imperial measurements -- especially beer -- and any change to pub rules usually gets Britons spluttering the froth off their pints. "Time could be called on more than 300 years of pub history in Britain," said The Daily Telegraph newspaper. "It would be the first time since William of Orange was on the throne (1650-1702) that pub goers would be able to drink such an unusual measure." Commentator Tim Jones, writing in The Times newspaper, said the measure "represents yet another insult to the judgment, intelligence and integrity of the drinking classes". If it was adopted "because of demand from girls who would only order one a night while taking up valuable drinking space or by callow youths better suited to model making, another nail would be driven into what used to be the great British pub," he said. NWML's public consultation, which runs until January 1, asks "whether a new two-thirds of a pint measure should be available to drinkers alongside the current legal measures. "This has been proposed by the beer and pub trade to allow greater flexibility in the service of draught beers, especially those with a higher alcohol content." The measure is commonly served in Australia, where a "schooner" stops cold lager turning warm in the hot climate before drinkers have finished their glass. The British Beer and Pub Association, whose members account for 98 percent of beer brewed in Britain and more than half Britain's 58,000 pubs, feels the two-thirds measure could be a way of reviving pubs, which it said were closing at an alarming rate of five per week. "There's no doubt pubs are facing major challenges so every little helps and this is one way of doing it," a BBPA spokesman told AFP. "It would give consumers more choice -- you can already have wine in different sizes, why not beer? And it would encourage women to try it." Alcohol Concern, the national agency on alcohol misuse, said the plan was part of a worrying trend. "We have seen a move from brewers to move away from a men-only market, to open the market up to women," said a spokeswoman. "It may be that this two-thirds of a pint measure will allow pubs and producers to start marketing beers for women, so there is a possibility they would be attracted to beers." "It is possible that introducing yet another measure will confuse people even further," she added. "It might make people think they're drinking less when they would actually be drinking as much or even more. Two-thirds of a pint of a much stronger lager can contain more units of alcohol than a full pint." England's Ale Measures Act 1698 stated that beer should be sold in pints or quarts (two pints) -- anyone selling short measures being "of evil consequence" and guilty of "a great wrong and prejudice to wayfaring men, travellers, manufacturers, labourers". The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), meanwhile, felt that rather than smaller glasses, pubs should first of all be filling up the ones they are already using, with one in four pints short by more than five percent. more

Because of the relative decline of agriculture since the 1960s, Spain’s rural population decreased and many farms disappeared. There were many crops.Vegetables, fruits, and cereals are the principal crops, about three-fourths of Spain’s agricultural production. Barley and wheat, the major crops in Spain, On the plains of Castile-León, Castile–La Mancha, and Andalusia, while rice is grown in coastal Valencia and southern Catalonia. Corn , grown in the north, is a major fodder product. Other crops include cotton, tobacco, sugar beets, olives. Fruit growing is also common, with citrus fruits, especially oranges being of the biggest need. Other fruit crops include apples, apricots, bananas, pears, peaches, and plums. Spain also produces vegetables, mostly tomatoes, onions, and potatoes and nuts, mainly walnuts.Because Spain is one of the world’s largest producers of wine, grape growing is important. The main wine-producing areas are La Rioja, the Penedès in Catalonia, Valdepeñas in Castile–La Mancha, the Duero valley in Valladolid, and Málaga and Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia.Animals are also raised. Pigs are raised mainly in Castile-León, Aragon, and Catalonia, and pork leads meat production in Spain, followed by poultry, beef, and lamb.

Resolved Question: Brief History of Man?

For those that don't know about history...... here is a condensed version. Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were: 1. The invention of beer, and 2. The invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals 2. Conservatives. Once beer was d iscovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass. Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels t han their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule becaus e it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with t he production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. Here ends today's lesson in world history....... It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to p!$$ them off.... more

Resolved Question: Ladies need your advice?

Right so ive been single waaaaay to long now (im talking 2 almost 3 years, well apart from the odd date...but that also means no sex lol!), and i really cant figure whats up, i made a little list of my good and bad qualitys, and you tell me if i should be single or not. Pros: -I have a good respectable job with a good wage - I used to be a radio producer and have also once performed on an album. -I believe in wineing and dineing a lady, you know expensive restraunt, the best wine etc -Im romantic and like surprising my girls with presents just because. - I let my girls win arguments -I like suddenly kissing a girl mid sentence even if shes shouting at me. -im not ashamed to introduce my g/fs to anyone that will listen :) -I can always make a girl laugh no matter what mood. Cons -I tend to let my girls get away with murder(which i guess is a pro too) -im alittle too soppy sometimes - I do have depressed moments - I cant drive -I live at home still (only for awhile)cons continued: -Im alittle over weight but that can be fixed -not that great looking just averagenice replies so far, i know i gotta stop thinking bout the cons but its easier said than done. just to clarify im a female btw (not that the answers mean anything less cos of that) i used to try dating websites but after a couple of really horrible dates ive kinda lost any confidence in using them.see id have my own place by now but i left it alittle to late and now the students are coming back theres not much places available in my city other than bedsits where i can barely move around in let alone two people in it. I know i used the term my girls too much, i dont mean like i have several on the go, when im with a girl then shes my only girl, but feels odd saying g/f as their not anymore, and ex g/fs just depresses me so i used the term my girls. I dont need to take lessons for an education i got 8 gcses not all c grades so i went to 6th form and then chose not to go to uni...id rather not be nearly 30 grand in debt before im 25 lol!! more
