I will too assume that was not intentional, and I am glad professor took it with some sense of humor.

Good money?? $1500 a month is about how much one makes working minimum wage. A lot of models and athletes sell their health for money - but they make millions.  Even at those huge amounts it's questionable, but doing it for minimum wage, I think, is plain stupid.

1st (cat with tequila) is the most Cinco de Mayo-kind. One with guy and dogs sleeping on the boardwalk is probably my favorite...   Most are good though :-)

Bloomberg vs. Palin debate - really hard to pick sides here...  Can they both please go away!

That's what you get for cutting NASA budget and shutting down the shuttle program.   Now the funds that could have been used here for research and development of our space program, goes to funding the Russians...

This may sound silly, but if you think about it work uniform is an important issue.   Drivers spend nearly entire day in seated position, and too tight uniform can cause problems with blood circulation which can lead to serious health condition (especially for men).

I think, it's cool.  If any of my friends threw a party like this, I'd definitely go.   Hope they had fun and screw the critics!

Of course Stalin was a tyrant.... but may be he was not all evil.   One of his goals was to completely eliminate Chechen nation.    He started the process, but died before he could finish it... maybe there was some reasoning behind it.

Soups are best for hang overs, I agree.   But I don't think this one is fatty enough.   The best one for hangovers is "hashi" from Georgia and Azerbaidjan.  Pho is good too.
