Black, strong, hot. No sugar or milk.

I could do the same if I really wanted to, but I prefer to spread it out more. I got much more freedom in when to take a vacation and have same amount of vacation time. So really outside of the old myth about the long vacation I really dont see why it should be considered anything special. If...

I cant speak for all nations but over here teachers dont really have much time off. They are expected to work longer in a normal week to make up for the extra time they get for the long summervacation. So the long vacations is really a myth. Generally i'd say Teachers are an incredibly...

So far the only good thing about the dollhouse seems to be Dushku in skimpy clothes.

My crystal ball tells me it will be more of a depression. I think it will require bigger changes than many are willing to accept at the moment, so it will take time.

I cant really understand why any school system would use standardized tests like the SAT. It makes even less sense to make it as important as the SAT.

I read Origin of the species some years ago. If you are interested in biology its a good read. I can also recommend the books/articles written by Alfred Russel Wallace. He is best known for independently proposing a very similar theory to Darwin, but wrote books and articles on a number of...

Honestly if you look at how atheists have been treated and viewed up through the years the only surprise is that its not happened sooner. With the rise of religious fundamentalism threatening to push us back a few hundred years, its time to start fighting back.

Its hard to put them in order, but perhaps The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle on top.

Earlier this year I practically read every Murakami book I could get my hands on. He tends to reuse his characters and themes a bit too much in some of the books imo. But if I had to pick i'd say the best ones are Kafka on the Shore, Norwegian Wood and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

I havent read the book, but the movie based on this book was great.

Well that depends on if you are talking about the UN as a whole or just the security council. Try to remember that the security council is just one branch of the UN. But if you are talking about the security council its organisational structure pretty much made it obsolete before it was...

Falco - Rock me Amadeus (1985)

Its actually a he. And the music fits the cover. :)

I read less and less "fluff" if you can call it that. But i still enjoy Iain Banks.

The LHC will destroy us before 2012. :)

Well he got one thing right in that song: "I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom"

M. night shamalamalamanam and Keanu in a remake of an old classic means its most likely not worth watching. And I havent heard anything to indicate otherwise.
