Let's start 2011 with a steaming hot and very weird post. You know, a lot of people know about or even like taking steam baths, but have you heard of vaginal steam baths? Just think of it as a "facial" for her private area (that's how someone in the article described it - not me):
Pungent steam rises from a boiling pot of a mugwort tea blended with wormwood and a variety of other herbs. Above it sits a nude woman on an open-seated stool, partaking in a centuries-old Korean remedy that is gaining a toehold in the West.
Vaginal steam baths, called chai-yok, are said to reduce stress, fight infections, clear hemorrhoids, regulate menstrual cycles and aid infertility, among many other health benefits. In Korea, many women steam regularly after their monthly periods.
Didn't I tell you it was weird? Sari Heifetz of the Los Angeles Times has the story: Link

Originally released in 1977 under the title Star Wars. The new title was applied in a 1981 re-release after the decision to make additional films, allowing Star Wars to refer to the entire series."
While this sounds like a good explaination for the name change it is untrue. George Lucas orginally wanted A New Hope to be titled episode 4, but Fox decided that it would be to confusing for audiences.
In the early days of the 1939 - 45 war, it was known as the Second Great War.
I have a series of vintage publications which refer to it as this.
as opposed to the kind that never makes any sound....
