The narrowest building in the world (according to the Guinness Book) is a spite office building in Vancouver, the Sam Kee building. The city expropriated almost all of Sam Kee's property to widen Pender Street (then Dunlop street, I believe) but left him a six-foot-deep lot so they didn't have to pay him fair market value for the whole lot. So he built a building exactly six feet wide.
The American Saddlebred Association once recommended their judges sniff under the horses' tails to detect ginger. Needless to say, this was very unpopular with the judges.
PT, you're being sexist not just in your comment, but in the way you've unscientifically assumed that you know the gender of every commenter, based on their comment. You then use this as proof that the answers split along gender lines...
Does anyone else see the problem there?
Anyway, it appears that it takes six months of study with this guy to get anywhere at all. I don't know how expensive these courses are, but if you really just want to lose your virginity you hire a hooker and ask her to teach you. As long as you pay them for their time, they will give you some decent tips, and you'll get results a LOT faster.
I've seen Amelia live, and it IS this fast. If I recall correctly, it's essentially about the nature of love, and the increasingly blurred divide between the human and the artificial and how that affects our ability to love and be loved. I still have the programme around somewhere, I'll see if I can find it. If I can, I'll put up a blog post and link back here.
It's not a psychic magazine: it's an astrology magazine. That it doesn't taste like a granny smith isn't a bad thing, if it's an orange in the first place.
Astrology historically (and yes, even today in most countries) is largely a predictive enterprise. Fortunes were spent on astrologers not because they could tell the king what the king was like, but because it was believed they could tell the king what the future was like.
But, ancient or modern, astrologists were and remain a touchy, defensive bunch.
I remain skeptical of these skeptical claims. I know for a fact that I act different when I'm drinking gin than when I'm drinking vodka, even if it's in something so highly flavoured you can't taste the booze. And certain tequilas are apparently hallucinogenic: I see no particular reason Absinthe wouldn't be.
But it tastes too vile for me to drink enough to see for myself.
FYI the La Fee Absinthe people are very nice. One of them commented on my blog where I'd said how awful I thought it was, and he offered everyone a discount to see for themselves! He told us he'd packed the absinthe for Marilyn Manson's wedding, so we got a vicarious thrill. Manson is bringing out Mansinthe, his own brand which I believe La Fee produces. http://raincoaster.com/2007/08/10/mansinthe-booze-o-the-day/

This, by the way, was pure genius.
