I have never understood the pride people take in finding out an ancestor was famous or was a passenger on the Mayflower. We can't take the blame or get the credit for the actions of those who preceded us.

Zeytoun, 10% sounds way too high. It implies that most women are cheating on their husbands since not every liason leads to pregnancy.

Samantha, I wouldn't say a man who has a far younger, dumb, and beautiful wife has a "trophy". Who wants a dumb wife? I would just call him a dirty old man.

I would think that rabbits are the last animal to help with fertility treatment. Haven't they heard that they breed like ummm rabbits?

Seriously, this type of treatment is one reason society pays so much for healthcare. We need more GPs and fewer specialists, and we should pay the GPs better. It is very sad when a couple is infertile, but it is sadder when people die from preventable diseases.

Better the freezer than the dryer. Just ask my aunt.

The advantage is that they fly "to altitudes of 2,600 feet, where wind streams are four times as strong as they are near ground-based wind turbines."
The kite collapses when it reaches the end of its tether, so it is easier to rewind.
What happens when the wind stops and the huge kite crashes at the end of a half mile tether?

Do you have to file a flight plan? Airplane safety aside, it seems like a good idea.

seth A,
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Respect individuals. Who needs religion to figure that out?

"The recovered dynamic braking energy continually replenishes the energy storage system, and uses this recovered energy for tractive effort in rail operation"

I guess that means it is always braking and efforting at the same time.

The one where they top each other with stories of how poor they were growing up. "we got evicted from our hole in the ground"

This picture illustrates the same illusion,

That's not yo cheese!

Is farrier listed,Farrier?

Plants growing in tough urban environments like rooftops and subway stations have always amazed me.

when someone wrote in the newspaper about their admiration of a small tree growing in a Wash DC subway station the authorities immediately sent someone out to cut it down.

They're jealous of the squirrels. They need baboon underpants.

Using old doors for a temporary building fence used to be common, but this one is much larger than any I ever saw.
