Who proposed the idea of shortening the normal length of a match stick from 3 to 2 centimeters?

I read somewhere about 40 years ago that after World War II, Japan was in trouble regarding her econony, thus, the Japanese needed to save everything and there's an idea of doing so that they could save wood used in the match manufacturing process.
I'm sorry I can't recall if it's an article or a book, moreover, it didn't mention the person concerned. Therefore, your info on the person or the source is appreciated.

Scared to show feelings?

I have always been scared to show my feelings to those of the opposite sex, even though deep down, I like them, how can I fix this?

Red and blue on election maps...?

Some of you might think I'm stupid, but this annoys me every time I see it: The way they use red and blue on election maps in the USA nowadays.

I wish they'd change the damn colors back to the way they are in every country except the one that has a liberal media trying to play mind games with their voters (this one.. Russert and co. switched the colors in Y2K): Red for the socialist/communist/far left, blue for conservative. I mean, come on... You don't wear a conservative red suit, you wear a conservative blue suit.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Why do I prefer my own company?

I am a popular, sociable person with lots of friends and work colleagues, but people think I'm strange when I need me time! Dont get me wrong I like a night out every now and then, Im 29 its not cos im getting old cos Ive always enjoyed sitting in my house taking time to read, watch tv etc. I get really irate if I dont have some time to reflect on my week and where Im going. I see friends who have kids and they dont get a minute to themselves and are really depressed. I feel quite priviledged! Discuss!
