    Where Will The Next School Massacre Be?

    Okay, maybe not a rarity, but it's not like they're an everyday thing. "Only" a couple of times a year. That's still a LOT more then any other country... Sure, but Afghanistan has much more terrorists. Wikipedia has helpfully collated a record of school shootings. Here's the page that lists the US school shootings, and here's the main page which lists the rest of the world. "There are notable school shootings all over the world, with the United States having the highest number of school-related shootings." Interesting to note that Switzerland has half the number of guns per capita (fourth) compared to the United States (first) but doesn't feature at all on the list.

    Looks like he's struggling to pay the bills. Mike Hudson Benefit Concert. What bills? Guy JUST got in an accident and they have a benefit concert lined up? This whole thing is odd. SC Don't you guys have to pay for hospital care? It's hardly Madison Square Garden; it's in a bar in L.A. and the concert will be between five and nine weeks since the crash.

    I used to sit alone in my room and cry listening to that song on the radio thinking about all the parties I was never invited to. Bit ironic really... Are you a lesbian too? are males allowed to be lesbians? You used the word ironic to mean coincidence (the most popular misuse of the word). I was enquiring if this coincidence extended to you being a lesbian, as Gore was. In answer to your question, are males allowed to be lesbians, I find it depends upon the company of the gentlemen one keeps. I know some men who claim that they're lesbians trapped in a man's body. Although strangely enough, I know of one guy who underwent a sex change to become a woman and she is a lesbian. And there's a couple who started off as being a lesbian couple, the younger of the two women then decided that she identified more with being a man. This was also after a couple of failed attempts to become pregnant via IVF. Confused? you won't be after this week's episode... OF SOAP! lol. I must dig it out and watch it again. I've encountered a few over the years. I like to think there are eight permutations from: Body: Male or Female Brain: Male or Female Orientation: Gay or Straight

    Deathlist Drought

    Ah, the Legend of the Lost List. Perhaps we could sneak that in the plot of DeathList, the Movie. regards, Hein We could always do what they did with the booker prize and compile the list retrospectively. Wow we got 50/50 The list taking a punt on Roy Orbison, Hal Ashby and Roy Kinnear was the kind of soothsaying we just don't get in these calculated times... (The only person who knows if the 88 list happened or not is the Grim Reaper chap as part of the original team. Though Harry did seem to suggest years ago he vaguely recalled names off of it, so who knows? I can't find the post which suggested it didn't happen, but it did exist.)

    The Dead Of 2015

    I'm sorry to break the news but Peter Falk died 3 years ago. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13909992 Console yourself with the Colombo boxset. LIES! Uncle Pete is alive and well: I'd remember if he had died!

    nice one. I was going to say 'It's my partly (decomposed body)' but it doesn't really work as well as yours You guys could have combined your puns, like "It's my body and I'll die if I want to". Oscar would have been proud. I ...think... you're talking about Oscar Wilde. But I don't know what it alludes to. Your repartee. Such as here.

    I'm not sure you mean duplicitous. Have you tried looking at the New Content page first. I find normally within a few seconds if something has been posted or not. Edit: You can't be using the search facility properly. Adrian0719 posted about Lee Loong two days ago. http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8444&page=10#entry220460 It took me less than 10 seconds to find it. Make sure you use the drop down menu and select "forums" and not "this topic".

    No it ain't. http://www.aeroinside.com/item/3388/etihad-a332-at-brisbane-on-nov-21st-2013-quotwe-lost-our-airspeedquot Quote: "Subsequent engineering inspection detected that the captain's pitot probe was obstructed, the probe was removed from the aircraft and sent for further analysis. The manufacturer found that the probe had been almost completely blocked by a wasp nest composed of sand and mud consistent with nests of mud-dauber wasps". Re number 7 - manholes; they can be quite scary.

    Foreign Personalities, From Stage, Screen, Politics And Life

    Chinese is indeed a smart choice, and an admirably difficult one. Learning a tonal language isn't easy when your first language doesn't know that. Learning some 2500 common characters to get basic literacy is quite a job. As the joke goes: learning Chinese is much easier when you know Chinese. A colleague of mine of Chinese ancestry (but Dutch upbringing) speaks Chinese. Last year he paid a visit to China and soon experienced that what he learned from his parents didn't work in Peking. He can't read Chinese, so he often used English. I suppose your nephew learns Mandarin. Apart from the UK (and perhaps Ireland), things have changed in Europe. Even in large nations with a tradition of language chauvinism, say France, Germany, Italy or Spain, the majority know one or more foreign languages at a useful level. In the 90s I went to France for business a few times, and without some French one was fucked there and then. In 2013 I was in Paris and Normandy for hols and was pleasantly surprised by the number of locals whose English was better than my French. The Americans I meet are not average yankee Joes and Janes, after all they moved here at some time. Their language skills vary. I met a 23-ish student (at some business school) from Lansing, Michigan, in the pub last year. She'd learned German in high school and had been learning Dutch by trial and error for a month. She asked me what I was reading (a novel by W.F. Hermans) and she read out loud a passage -in an unusual accent- and translated it almost perfectly. I was much impressed. Of course the same pub is full of Americans, Australians and New Zealanders who don't even try. regards, Hein Of course old Zealanders don't have to.

    Ask A Deathlister

    You want simultaneously to open up a multitude of Google Chrome tabs? 235 to be exact, with each one containing a search term from the spreadsheet database in the address bar or even better already searched? I know there's an extension for chrome that allows you to open more than one tab at a time but that's not quite what I'm looking for. You need to read this my friend: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/LfkGcfiE__w Okay, would it be possible to do the spreadsheet thing in firefox or ie? (preferably firefox if ie can be avoided)? I'll PM you.

    Dad's Army Museum say so on their website. Is this enough for me to claim my Deathrace points? The Dad's Army Society suggest the news has come from Frank Williams and their source is being quoted on Wiki Guardian obit.
