So dissappointed it's not really made from human beast milk. THAT I would eat!

Excellent! Now they can double their efforts on reclassifying vodka from drinking water to an alcoholic drink.

Meh

Kangaroo does NOT taste anything like chicken. It has a really distinct taste, but if you want a comparison, it's probably closest to beef with a sort of acidic/bitter tang.

The "younger" twin would probably also have osteoperosis.

While this is obviously some sort of trick, I once did research in a facility where other researchers were training fish to swim through mazes.

They look kind of gaudy, but the art of creating them is pretty cool in itself.

Maybe the pigs took the eggs to feed their piglets who would otherwise have starved.

The birds are only angry by principle anyway. Why else would they drop eggs onto their nemeses to punish them for taking their eggs, wasting more eggs in the process? Clearly their eggs aren't as precious to them as they would have us believe.

@Irene, both Rom and Roma are acceptable. Roma is more common though.

I disagree. I see this more as a clever representation of the dichotomy of man.

I am so sick of the Neatoramabot! It's been about 12 hours and my comment still hasn't been approved. Not only do the moderators not go over the comments in line for moderation quickly enough (what is the point of writing a comment if it takes so long to approve that nobody ever even reads it), but it is far too sensitive. there have been multiple times when I have written 1 sentence with nothing even remotely offensive and it triggers the Neatoramabot. What the hell is the criteria that is used to trigger the Neatoramabot anyway? Can't you moderators do something about it?

Meh. It looks pretty scrapped together if you ask me.

I can't speak for the entire culture as the impression I got was based on a select few experiences, however the impression I did get when I was in Rome was overwhelmingly negative.

When I was entering the train terminal to head to the airport to leave Rome, I noticed groups of gypsies (Roma, whatever) selling items from open suitcases on the street. When I was sitting at a table in the food court within the terminal, a gypsy man came up to me and began speaking his language to me (not Italian), which I obviously didn't understand. Suspicious, I turned around to check my suitcase that was on my other side and noticed a second man reaching for, and about to run off with all of my luggage. I yelled my head off at him and they both slinked off. Keep in mind I was only 16 at the time, and I think it's disgusting that they obviously picked me out as easy prey because I was young and alone.

Other encounters included women throwing themselves at people's feet, clutching to their ankles and wailing dramatically, and a woman begging while holding her baby in the dead of Winter that looked like it was about to pass out from the cold because it was dressed in only a singlet and nappy while the mother was wearing warm clothes, using her child to garner pity by begging for money to cloth it, when she could have just wrapped the baby in one of her many shawls.

The gypsies appeared to especially target tourists and it was quite confronting having men follow me up the street, first begging, and then hurling abuse at me when I ignored them. There were also 2 incidences where gypsy men grabbed my hair (perhaps because it's long and red?). I never felt safe walking the streets of Rome.

I agree with nemo that there needs to be some reform in the gypsy community before they can be accepted as valued members of the wider community.

Colour me impressed!
