After 10+ years of archery competition, I can say that those guys are quite good (see how the arrow is well released)., and that there was no wind...

Splitting arrows in archery is relatively rare with real metal arrows because the tip is closed with a conic metal end and the diameter is identical, unlike the receiving one on the video. I've seen it happening only twice.
I don't count the times were the whole archery club was aiming at a quarter sized coin, or the bottom of a lighter with a candle under it... You never took your valuable carbon fiber arrows to those arrows salads ;)

That's the reality:

From that article I deduce that 60% of inventors have moustache.

I agree with roger on the marketing side of it. We would be naive not to believe any of our leaders do something of that sort without planning it.

Anyway, we should praise Queen Rania efforts to show all the good sides of the Arab world.

Yet, I believe religious extremism is undermining it. You need strong leaders like Morocco's Hassan II to prevent it, but it means also that they don't have our level of freedom.

Hope the Arab world has Youtube...

The idea was under too much pressure and was called off.

We live in time when you can call teaching about holocaust a psychological torture. Not so long ago the age of reason was 7 years old. Reason? Because you could start to work at that age.
I believe we should rejoice (at least in the so called western world) about the possibility of this dialog.

Nonetheless I disagree with Simone Veil. I met a French IT consultant recently who told me he discovered the holocaust in history class, when he was 17. Isn't that a little bit late?

Nazism, Communism, Terrorism : give your kids facts, so history does not repeat itself.

It could be worse : you could have been French

Ah, the good times of "fewer chores"...

Red like the blood spilled...

I'm selling, among other things, glass blocks. The technical requirements to stack them properly are drastic. I don't see any beer company taking the risk to provide light build glass to inebriated installers. It's a recipe for lawsuits.
Besides that, it's way cool! ;)

Hiroshima's bear weird act. Do they still have radiation over there?

Wunderbach! Ich liebe dich Österreich!

Isn't that another april's fool from Virgin and Google? ;)

It's Blinky from the Simpsons!
Uh, wait, no, it's its cousin Fangy ;)
