Apart from an interest in Quantum Physics, would also like to know more about Human Anthropology.
Can you recommend any simple books?

There is no such thing as "non-human" anthropology. Here is my recommendation:

Everyone is troubled, and that's exactly what this web site exploits. However, unless you realize that the type of "psychoanalysis" you get there is meant as a joke, you may be a subject to a reverse placebo effect, meaning that you may be lead to believe that you are more psychotic than you really are.

It's not in this quote, but Warren Buffet supports progressive taxation, inheritance tax and estate tax, to level the playing field dominated by those who he refers to as the "members of the lucky sperm club."

What are the "som evital words"?

I was not impressed with "Avatar". It's "Platoon" for the 7-year old kids.

Don't I look handsome?

I checked on IMDB. It has 6.5 stars i.e. above average.

According to this, the average rating across all movies is 6.9, so "2012" is actually rated below average.

Then you'll think, hey, maybe if I die, sexy young girls will come to cry on my grave. But then by the content of the ad, that's supposed to my daughter. So, yeah, sort of creepy.

I'd also note that the girl is in the suggestive position. So, yes, there different angles in play here: pedophilia, necrophilia, and incest. I did some research, and found out that AccuQuote committed a significant amount of money into investigating what type of advertising content attracts the customers. Apparently, it's sex in all its variants. But we knew this already, didn't we?

While checking my Yahoo mail, I saw this ad:


My question is this. Does anyone find it odd that the grieving girl is wearing shorts to the cemetery?

Java, beautiful women, warm weather, and myself.

I'd make my question more specific!

What is that 1 thing you most love in your life??

I thought about this, and I have to say, what I love most is empty spaces. A more interesting question is, why do you ask? How would other people's preferences be relevant or helpful to you?

Chaveses. At that point, I would reword the sentence to avoid the scenario entirely - just to avoid confusion.

I did some research, and I can confirm that there is no special treatment of words ending with an -es when making plural forms. So, if we have two persons with the first name is "Emeses" and the last name is "Parentheses", and follow the rules we've established so far, we would have this:

Both Emeses Parentheseses went to get coffee.

Right?

What if the last name ends with an "es", such as Chaves? Would that be "Both Chaves' went to get coffee?"
