Down year it is then. What do you mean, you’ve never heard of the Superbowl Indicator? From 1967-1998 the indicator has had a 90 per cent success rate.
Well, there is a counter ... all the gals with youth and/or good legs on their side just have to go out and buy short skirts!

Two men are looking at a headstone.
Says one : It says, Here rests a lawyer and an honest man.
Replies the other: I thought only one body could be buried in a grave in this county...
(not to be taken personally; some of my best friends are lawyers)

military intelligence
A remembered quotation that I cannot find on google; can anyone identify it?
The encyclopedia lists three kinds of intelligence: "Intelligence, human"; "Intelligence, animal"; and "Intelligence, military". He was a perfect example of "intelligence, military".

Oh, I must have missed that thread. In Montréal we say plastic cutlery. We sell some, and that is what we write on the packaging for customers all across Canada.

what about "holy war" or "religious war"?
btw, I went to a series of talks on Islam recently, and discovered from these that "jihad" DOES NOT translate as "holy war." Its literal meaning is more closely translated as "struggle." An example: an alcoholic battling his addiction is engaged in jihad.

That is interesting MG. Is it struggle alone or holy struggle?
