Are you sure this isn't just the character from the 70's Israeli show "Shmil the cat"? The resemblance is uncanny :-)

I would have just imagined that she's a magician's aide and he's a magician - seems like all of these situations could have taken place in "The Prestige"

Yes, from when I was a kid and lived in Frankfurt... in the 80's :) It's been around since 1986, 2001 only saw the addition of a new train line and another floor.

Natural sunlight?
We haven't had that in about 10 months. It's been raining since September.

All parkings in Germany have women designated spots. Like Seban said, it's for security reasons, and also because of the higher likelihood of having to push a stroller, not because it's assumed they can't park. I don't find it sexist and am very grateful for these spots late at night.

Now that there's a guy who decided to have some fun with a few strange sized spots just so he can say that his parking lot has more spots, who on earth cares?

I'd pick the Duggars over the Kardashians any day.

Most of the time the word people intend is “compliment": nice things said about someone ("She paid me the compliment of admiring the way I shined my shoes.”). “Complement,” much less common, has a number of meanings associated with matching or completing. Complements supplement each other, each adding something the others lack, so we can say that “Alice’s love for entertaining and Mike’s love for washing dishes complement each other.” Remember, if you’re not making nice to someone, the word is “complement.”

As Kev p23 says, it's an issue of weight, not space, which is being discussed here.

I barely weigh 55kg, and get given a hard time for my carry-on being 11kg instead of the 10kg limit. Then I take out some clothes and add them all on top of me, and ta-daaah, all of a sudden there's no "weight problem". It's ridiculous, and I agree that the total weight should count.

For all the tall people complaining that they would risk paying more and it's unfair, oh come on. I'm 1m65, and every bloody rock concert I've ever paid for looked the same: the shoulders of the tall people in front of me. We pay the same price, yet you guys always completely block my view.

You're kidding right? It's just the color of the strings that make the W, there's no reason for it to show in the shadow.

Read Neatorama before posting... This was here a few days ago already :)

It's in London, not Brussels.

Not quite...
Arafat made a show of donating blood. Palestinians danced in the streets and distributed candy.
Israel built a memorial to 9/11.

I know you're going to say that you just copied the text, like with the olive oil thing a few weeks ago, but come on. Everyone remembers the dancing in the street.

When my grandmother died, it was December and my brother was in the 9th grade. We flew to Israel for the funeral, and he missed two exams. Was always a straight A student. The principal was very unhappy that he had to retake his exams later in January, and complained about it to my mom incessantly, and saying how it's really exceptional and never again will she allow this.

To which my mom calmly replied "Don't worry - my mother wasn't planning on dying a second time."
