How do you know if it's a road song? If you're drivin' and feelin' good, man, THAT's a road song!

I like Paul Simon's 'Graceland'.

I understand that in Ancient Rome, there was a belief that an inanimate object had a Numen or Spirit. These Numina were in everything...sort of the equivalent of a "Genuis Loci".


I have tried various online free translators, but they only do one word at a time, and I understand for Latin that the word order and grammar is a tricky thing!

I'm after a translation that conveys the unique spirit or personification of feathers. Hope that's clear!

Thanks in advance for any help!

I mean, the whole story sounds silly and illogical.
Why didn't God descend Jesus to earth, like he ascended him to the sky? Did he really. This mythology was made up according to the jewish culture then, when adultery was seen as a majir sin. I can't believe there are people in the 21st century who still believe this story. I'm amazed! Seems like most people are mythology lovers.

Do you think its handling of situations in India caused the British East India Company to have problems in Colonial America? (ie. The Boston Teaparty?)

(This isn't homework for a student, so don't tell me, "Do your own homework." I'm legitimately curious.)

OK we all know there are a lot of women in the dating world who do not have sex, and say they are waiting for marriage. On the other side, there are also a lot of married women who are frigid, who don't enjoy sex and don't like to give in or don't put much effort into it when they do.

Now, the actual figures are nearly impossible to determine, but from what I've seen there are a lot of "goody two shoes" type girls/women out there, much more than guys. In my experiance I would say about 25%-33% of women are this way, and guys it is less than 2% So that leads to a lot of unsatisfied men.

Do you think womens reluctance to have sex is the cause for female prostitution? If the general female populous were more open to sex across the board do you think that would lead to a decline in the number of prostitutes?

One day while walking downtown, a Human Resources woman was hit by a bus and was tragically killed. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates St. Peter himself.

"Welcome to Heaven," said St.Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had an HR manager make it this far and we're not really sure what to with you."

"No problem, just let me in" said the woman.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in" the Saint replied.

"Actually, I think I've made up my mind.....I prefer to stay in Heaven".

"Sorry, we have rules....." And with that St. Peter put the HR Manager in an elevator and it went down-down-down to Hell. The doors opened and the HR manager found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow HR professionals that she had worked with. They were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kinda cute), and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing.

The HR manager was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good-bye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates where St.Peter was waiting for her.

"Now it's time to spend a day in Heaven" he said. So the HR manager spent the next 24 hours lounging around on the clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it, her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her. "So, you've spent a day in Hell and you've spent a day in Heaven. Now you must choose your eternity" he said.

The HR manager paused for a second and then replied, "well, I never thought I'd say this. I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell."

So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again the consultant went down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up garbage and putting it in sacks for the evening meal. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her and laughed at her.

"I don't understand," stammered the HR manager. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable."

The Devil looked at her and grinned, "that's because yesterday we were recruiting you, but today you're staff."

Right after WWll we were considered heroes all over the world--helping to rebuild Japan and Germany and things like that. Now it seems like the whole world hates us--with or without reason, I'm not asking that. What would it take for us to regain our reputation as good, honorable people in the eyes of the world?
Please don't be rude or silly. I'm quite serious about this and would like to hear some honest, thoughtful opinions.

It seems a lot of people live double lifes through the internet.

The internet has to bonus that we can pretend to be who we want to, this however would imply that we do not like who we already are.

In short, why do people insist on lying about themselves through the internet?

The only reason i ask is that i see questions and really wonder why.

There was a question just about IQ scores, and i saw someone through 3 edits increase their score to be the highest answerer.

The YA community has the biggest collection of love, computers, motor 'EXPERTS' in the world...

and yet most of these 'experts' seem to have a lot of time free during the day?

Well... i suppose the unemployed have to do something after Jeremy Kyle finishes.

I have loved wrestling for like 30yrs, I started watching it when I was only 4. I can't remember a time I have been more bored with this business. I mean it really sucks, the storylines, the characterizations and the match making. Here is what I would do to the draft.

I would put back together the 4 Horseman with Flair, Benoit, Kennedy & Matt Hardy.I would have them become a serious force in wrestling winning titles in maybe SMACKDOWN and I would leave them together for a good year without someone fueding with in the group.

Edge vs Triple H needs a run

Cena needs to turn bad and finally become the anti heroe that he should have been all along.

Bring back Pipers Pit in its old style by the stage not in the ring and make it every week.

Make only one franchise be a tag team show and put good teams together and bring back great tag team wrestling.

Have a good cruiserweight division like we saw on WCW and have that on only one show with Rey as the head guy.

I'm a lit grad student studying Emerson, who has the wonderful quote comparing man to Labrador spar. I'm wondering if a rock I have here on my desk could be considered spar...unfortunately, Yahoo Answers won't let me put links to pics of it. So I made my profile pic the rock - I think if you click on it, you'll get a bigger (if not great) image of the rock held at the right angle to make it colorful. The main color is grey-black and when you hold it at angles, parts of it glow like an oil slick - bright blues, oranges, and golds. I realize the pic is crappy, but can anyone tell if this might be spar? Labradorite?
