Answer from what is it?: Ballot box or blackball box, black and white marbles were kept in the open end, a white marble dropped into the hole signified a supporting vote while a black one signified a "no" vote.
Congratulations to Kevin Register, who won this round of the game!
I quite enjoy some of the wild guesses here. You guys are a hoot!
Maybe you're right Tim, that the increase is due to more reporting of insignificant natural events. But notice that significant natural disasters like flood also show an upswing in trend.
I saw somewhere on TV that Simmons actually call and encourage extremely overweight people to go on diets, exercise, and improve their lives. Sometimes, he would call them daily to give them encouragements.
Simmons never seem to publicize this (the show was about the people who lost weight and credited Simmons for help), so kudos to him.
Hm, come to think about it, I don't think there is a page for "reviews you have given." So, perhaps there is a navigation issue that Repvine needs to resolve.
Kurdistan is a *de facto* country, as the article stated ("functionally independent"). It has its own government, its own economic system, its own military, its own language, its own ethnic people, and its own way of life that is separate from iraq and turkey.
To go into Kurdistan, you'd have to "cross" its border, complete with customs house and passport stamping.
The map delineates the area that is known as Kurdistan. The "border" if you will.
Of course, the issue of nationhood remains a touchy subject, as shown by the comments. Turkey is particularly touchy about this subject, since Kurdistan falls within its border and no nation likes losing land.
