Where's that photo of the man in the too-short cut-offs when you need it?

I think the Japanese will be keen on it because of the relative simplicity of writing Japanese by hand, in comparison to trying to wrestle it into a computer.

I'm sure I've read the Japanese face enormous difficulties now and in the future, as 'typing' Japanese is soooo bloody difficult that it is acting as a brake on their economy.
My knowledge of it is extremely limited, but as a starting point, have a look into the difference between kanji and romaji, the latter meaning a 'typical' (Roman) keyboard could be used. But there are some many keyboard layouts (I was surprised even Germany have their own on a recent trip). As a side note, I've seen some seriously impressive mobile phone apps for writing in Japanese kanji (thanks to a friend living in Fukuoka).

If you had a deflated/puncture tyre could you use centrifugal force to inflate it whilst driving and what speed would be needed to drive normally in a straight line assuming tyre stays in one piece.

Driving on a normal tyre whilst deflated will just cause a hole in the inner side wall smile

Mariah Carery has a Black Dad and an White Mum.

Paris Jackson has a White Mum and a Pale Skinned, Black oh and dead Dad who provided exactly 0% of her DNA.

I have a few die hard Jackson fans in my extented family, they were remarking at Xmas about how she looks like him, and some of her sharp features do look his, sadly his sharp nose, cheeks and jaw-line were manufactured.

You know the title of this thread is "things you really want to know the answer to" don't you?
Trust me on this, there are many other things to fill your mind with, I somehow feel you will not feel enriched by knowing the answer to your question.

In Star Trek, they beam people from a transporter pad, to a place without a transporter pad. They also beam people from such a place, back to a transporter pad.

Additionally, as was seen in the first of the new Star Trek movies (set before all other Star Trek), they can beam from a place without a transporter pad, to another place without a transporter pad.

So... what's the point of the transporter pads?

Why are some TV adverts presented as 'this is medifacts for Listerine' or 'this is Brand Choices for Shredded Wheat' where they then proceed to play the regular advert, but with a different voiceover.

Is it because the original product is paying to be part of a wider spectrum of adverts?

Or, is it because they are trying to use the alternative style of advert to suggest it some kind of award winning or scientific proved by a false body?

Or something else?
