That’s pretty cool about the Japanese sewage treatment and gold….The headline should read “One’s man’s trash is another man’s treasure”
That kind of pisses me off about the Italians trying to ban foreign food outlets right after alot of Europe has recently expressed that they wouldn’t stand for any US putting limitations on foreign imports. Then they want to turn around and do the same. Hypocritical Europeans.
haha, i love the article on napping. it gives me such a good excuse to fall asleep here and there. =)
i feel like taking a bite out of that cheesecake!
funny mistake google made. i almost use google everyday. too bad i didn’t witness this. it would be quite cool.
