OK, a friend of mine mentioned to me that people actually are getting married via online communications.
To try to put this a bit more clearly: one of his best friends has just gotten married to a very wealthy woman from Shanghai.

He just showed up for the wedding, she has moved into the country and they never actually see each other unless they chose to, which according to my friend, is hardly ever. They can get a divorce in 2 years time. She paid HIM £50,000 to marry her - he had absolutely nothing to offer her but help to gain citizenship in the UK.

Is this completely bizarre or does it actually happn on a large scale?

Does anyone have any links or interesting tidbits to share?

I don't know how things are where you live, but around here in summer nothing seems to happen, so they need non news to fill the papers. Biggest piece today: some big party went by without any problems or incidents. Yeah. Thanks for that :-)

I can almost never wake up unless I get 10-12 hours. My roommate even said I was sleep walking once. Despite all this sleep I get, I feel lethargic and have quit exercising. This is affecting my school work as well. What should I do?

Can someone translate this to Latin?
"Never Stop Exploring"
I used a English-Latin translator but I would prefer a second opinion.
Thanks!

I have a tom cat that hangs around my house sometimes. Recently he showed up sick after eating rat poisen at my neighbors, I nursed him through that, he disappeared. He showed back up only to be dragged off by my neighbor's dog and left for dead in their driveway. I nursed him through that, he disappeared. Now he has shown back up, and he is a mess. He is drooling excessively, he has a runny nose with some bloody discharge, he isn't eating or drinking that i have seen and his inner legs are caked witht he filth he keeps wiping off of his face. He begs for me to pay attention to him until it looks like I'm going to kennel him. Then he runs. I'm afraid to touch him because I don't know what's wrong. He has been worsening for a week now. At first he was just lethargicly moping around with a slight nasal discharge. He went from slight to fright in about a day. What the ???? is wrong with him? Do I need to worry about him biting or scratching me? He hasn't been agressive.
