Well, that's MLU for you... a safe harbour for pearls of wisdom from all over the world. But then again, I'm easily awed... or is that 'easily odd'?

Jefe, I hear that your mother is very entertaining, in fact, it could be said "Yama nobore"

P.S.

If you're still cold, you could climb Mt. Niitaka to warm up

She certainly entertained my father for a while, which is why I'm here today...

...I even mentioned it at work by starting off with a question. 'Do you know what the phrase "...A day that will live in infamy!" is from?
Good to know that all these 30 and 36 year olds did not have a clue and even after explaining they still could not remember the statement.

In another note but in the same area , have any of you looked at Pearl Harbour with GOOGLE EARTH? Very cool! You can still see the oil escaping from the Arizona .

Same-same here too, Sean. Sometimes I think we were born out-of-time, othertimes that we have been sentenced to the hopeless task of edumacating The Herd...

Nope, 388-1 in the house though the senate was unanimous all on Dec 8, 1941.
