Some people just know how to answer 'correctly'... they are so programmed that you really have a hard time 'figuring them out'. From their questions you can tell what they're interested in and how much they know. “Judge a man by...

ccc8230 Einstein once said, "A smart man will give the right answer; a brilliant man will ask the right question." Kinda similar to Voltaire, and just as profound. A guy in a bar once told me, "I've never learned a damn thing while my gums were flapp'n." For some...

ccc8230 This would be a reason for me to NOT vacation in UK. I'm a morning person and the last thing I'd want is to wake up and wait for the sun to rise so I can start my travels. Personally I'd much prefer early sunrise to late sunset.

We spend a lot of time worrying about rogue comets...maybe our real fear should be that giant hunk of green cheese we see up there every night.

ccc8230 Actually the moon is moving away from earht, not getting closer. In the early stages of earth, the moon was much closeer, and the earth rotated faster- one rotation took only 8 hours. Over the last couple billion years the moon has drifted farther away, slow...

Even the German beers, which would normally come in 500ml bottles are reduced to about 2/3 of their size for the US market. The same with the Brit beer, Newcastle Brown Ale. Just wondered. Must be American tastes?

ccc8230 Just an idea, but maybe when prohabition ended, goverment set regulations on the size a bottle could be. They seem to want to control everything else!

Have you been to one of the 7 wonders of the world may it be the present or the old 7 wonders? Can you share your travel experiences there? If you haven't been to any, what is your first choice to visit and why?

8 responses

ccc8230 I havn't been to any...yet. First choice is Machu Picchu. (I think it is one of the old 7 wonders but could be wrong) There is something very mystical about it that draws me like no other place. I hope to get there in 2012.

ccc8230 I think today it is way harder for a young person to move out then it was in years past. Like you say, prices are crazy and work is harder to find. My son is 20 and lives at home (with his mom), and sometime I think, "Why is that kid still living with mommy?"...

ccc8230 Hmmm..defining sport as just a skill based competition would then mean chess is a sport, but i dont think too many chess players would consider themselves athletes. I agree with defining sport as skill based athletic/physical competition.
