Whenever there's a reference to a geographical fact in the media, they're wrong at least 50% of the time. Tonight there's a story on Yahoo! News "Mountain water resources under threat - experts" which claims the Danube flows through 18 countries. In fact it flows THROUGH five countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia and Romania) and forms the boundary of four more (Slovakia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Moldova).

This is par for the course, even in publications like the Times and Guardian. But nobody would want to employ me as a geographical proof reader.

Why the ignorance - do you think it doesn't matter?

I have done several antivirus checks and it seems to be clean.It is working fine,exept when i am online, for instance, scrolling through the questions here, the page is slowly rippling ,sort of in waves.This once happened to me before, and someone said it could be a tap on my computer,or someone trying to hack me.I know its not the mouse as it is fine off line.I have defraged and have heaps of free space.Is there a diagnostic tool that i can get to check my system ,or is there a way to find out if i am being tapped -of-hacked??

I'm kind of grossed out - I'm using some lobster meat and am waiting for my husband to come home and take the shell off of it... because I'm scared to do it... I keep feeling like lobsters are so close to cockroaches...

when girls say either "but we r too good of friends" or "i know you too well" or "your more of a friend"...its happened before to me and i hate it... i always saw it as a girls excuse one of the more popular ones so they dont have to let em down hard. is that what it is or do girls really like only going out with guys before they know them really well?

My boyfriend asked his friend that was a girl to go hang out with him, and he doesn't even ask me to come. And lately- he's been blowing me off to go and do a lot of stuff like: "I can't come over today- I ugh, have to go with my mom to..." when he's online all day on MSN & myspace. We haven't been on a date in over 3 1/2 months. Should I be suspicous?

For that matter, anybody use sunscreen most of the time and still got cancer? Just because industry pushes it doesn't mean they're entirely forthright. I'm looking more for experiences and scientific facts. Everyone believes that just because companies (even doctors say something, it must be right.
Mostly, this is a cosmetic question

i have a friend that is really interested in someone that she used to know when she was a teenager. they just recently started talking again and everything seemed to be going well but when he found out she was over weight he did not want anything else to do with her. she is a wonderful person. she is not badlooking for someone who is overweight. how does this person move on when she is so upset over this?

I used to be a member of sparkpeople, and I got used to tracking a lot of things, and it was pretty motivational. Now, I wanna do this on my own. I don't wanna track calories, and I don't exercise much. I'd like to know what kinds of things I can track. I'm using excel, and so far I have my weight, measurements, number of situps, and I have goals on there too.

Does anyone else have any ideas on what I could track? Other than food... and mins of exercise/miles/water intake/etc?

Thanks in advance. :-)

I love my parents, but sometimes they are just so rude - not only to me, but to everyone! They're always embarrassing me in public places with their poor manners and I just don't know what to do about it anymore. Please help! Thank you.
