The follow paragraph is quoted from Martin Amis "Time's Arrow"

"......Once he approached the altar and extinguished a candle on the chest there, and pocketed a few imperceptible coins. A single glace at the crucified Christ, the worshipped corpse: a figure bent like a branch whose shape has changed in the stretching agony of fire. Above our head, an unregarded observatory of light. Then out again to open air and the waiting carabinieri, and the dumbshow of pappacieri and papieri."

I know the stroy-time in this novel is backward. I know the narrator had arrived at Italy. But I don't know what is "an unregarded observatory of light" and the three queer words: carabinieri, pappacieri and papieri.

Who can explain for me?

Anyone know if Paramount is still licensing their movie and tv stuff to the new park owner. It would be nice if the parks still have workers dress as Star Trek charcaters, and kids TV show charcaters. Also having movie posters displayed around the park, and a gift shop selling things tied to Paramount movie and TV shows. So what is the offical news on that, and if they are licensing it to the new owner, how long will that be ?

The problem is this: A Cantilever beam having an extended length of 3m is subjected to a vertical force of 500N. Assuming the wall resists this load with linearly varying distributed loads over the .15m length of the beam portion inside the wall, determine the intensities w1 and w2 for equilibrium...can someone nudge me please?

Let's face it, the main problem with churches gaining converts, and the equivalent money in the plate that religion is REALLY about, is the fact that any moron who made it through one sunday school class is free to run off at the mouth preaching--these people are so dumb the couldn't sell their soul to Satan if he was a motivated buyer, let alone sell the church to a functional adult. Wouldn't it behoove the church to make these people pass a class, so that they have a clue what they're talking about, before giving them the license to preach?

All day and night, no energy, lay around, think of all to do but cannot get up? Then, then, you get on Yahoo Answers and want to talk but you are too tired to even stay on the site. I hate to say it but it was a short nice time. Did you ever have one of those nights that you couldn't stay on this site? Bummer.

Am I metrosexual?

I care alot about how I look. It's an obsession. I hate not looking as best as I can at all times. Also, I'm a freshman if you wanna know my age. I try to keep my chest hairless because I don't really like body hair. In fact in the future I plan to get laser hair removal to remove everything except normal head hair (not facial) and eyebrows, as well as genital area. (If all possible.)

I sorta plan to have a lot of money, and be thin with a six pack but not overly muscular. (I'm close to the goal already at age 14.)

I also sorta wanna dye my hair blonde at a constant rate that it looks real... so... yeah...

Am I metrosexual? Will I have a place to fit in?


PS: I'M NOT GAY. OKAY, I LIKE WOMEN...

hi, as owner i rent a studio and the tenant has 2 months to appear, he probably left for good, but for some reason, he took the keys with him and locked the door (this is not a joke altho it sounds like one)

i was wondering if i can picklock it with a pin or something, the door locker is a classical old one and it requires normally a large classic key, like the ones used to open steel gates in cottage houses
