Yeah, it was photoshopped. Oh well, maybe someone will make the toblerone train for real.

I didn't realize how many people don't like Chevy cars! I thought it was neat - redneck or not. I particularly like how the grill comes with the engine block stand!

Chris, the book is not an MS manual at all. *I* just happen to use Outlook. The tip to tackle your inbox is largely mine - Mark's more detailed and better.
I do get valid JPG, PDFs, and other attachments from people not in my whitelist, so nuking everything with PDF is not feasible. So far, the problem is not so bad that I can't live with it.

This review Jeff Kingston of the Japan Times by suggests that Minoru's book is anything but impartial:
Professor Minoru Kitamura of Ritsumeikan University raises important questions about Japan's rampage in Nanjing in 1937-38, but sadly comes up with misleading, biased and unconvincing answers. Promises to the contrary, there is nothing impartial about his narrative. Much of it rests on innuendo and unsubstantiated interpretations he passes off as "common sense." [...]
The discourse about Nanjing is very polarized in Japan. In one corner, you have the "Massacre School." It acknowledges horrific atrocities were perpetrated by Japanese troops and puts the death toll at around 100,000. In the opposite corner, there are the "illusionists." They deny the massacre happened and blame Chinese propaganda for unfairly blackening Japan's reputation.
Kitamura describes himself as a centrist, but concedes he has an affinity for the "Illusionist School." This raises doubts about his impartiality and conclusions.
I haven't read Minoru's book (it's not widely available in bookstores), but stories of Japanese atrocities during WW II are plentiful (the "comfort women" [wiki], for example)
Like the Holocaust deniers, there will be people who deny that the Japanese did anything wrong during the war.

The Bible is both the Old and the New Testaments. The idea of biblical violence is documented here: How Many Did God Kill vs. Satan.

It's a fantastic photo, gail. I didn't know you're a talented photographer as well!
Regarding whether the red spot in the middle is to attract pollinating insects, it makes sense ... but insects (like bees, for instance) "see" the world very differently.

I thought someone drew a mustache on the cat, turns out it's natural!
Charlie Chaplin is a sweet natured five year old who earned the name due to a tiny black mustache and quiet nature.
This cat's favorite occupation is sleeping under the Banyan tree, and is encountered by almost all our visitors on their tour of the home and gardens.
Probably one of our most photographed feline residents.

Well, I don't count in duodecimal, so the imperial system is a little inconvenient in terms of conversion.

Alex AKA Blackie Sindoro (yeah, weird, I know. Even weirder since Blackie was a dog with completely white fur).
