The rest of us are so shy that we only sneeze in the dark.  :P

Which makes sense (back to serious facts), given than sneezes are physically very similar to orgasms.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Speaking of orgasm, clomipramine (brand name Anafranil) has been known in rare cases to cause people to orgasm when they yawn.

Portions of Sydney are quite good. I agree that the graffiti in Sydney is not a patch on Melbourne's, though. :green:

Jean Rhys' family lived in my area (Ealing) at one point.  Also Jean Rhys had Borderline Personality Disorder.  I wonder why I like her so?  :zoinks:

I read on a Swedish forum that Gorbachow wanted to give back to Germany the 1937 borders, but that Kohl and Genscher refused. I don't know if it's true but if it is, it's an incredible tragedy.  :(

Finally found out what the rent is for Ruthie's building from Benny & Joon. $795.00 for a 3 bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms. I saw the for rent sign in front of the building and I got out of my car and wrote down the web address and looked it up when I got to my parents house and found out what the rent was. Wow good price for a 3 bedroom, Spokane is cheap and I saw the other rent prices for other apartments for a 2 bedroom, all under 500 dollars.

In the Roman Empire those kids were indeed thrown away like dirt.

But I heard, don't know where anymore, that in the mideaval times there were groups of 'different' people living in the woods, apart from society. And some of them took care of abandoned kids. Together having a community. And indeed, doing nightly chores in exchange for food in the 'normal' world. Since part of the abandoned people were dwarves, stories about the little folk did get more substance.

I'll try if I can find links or references to this. Found it an amazing story.
I was watching some program that said something like that about the Romans throwing away kids during that time.

Native Americans still exist today but they don't live the way they did back in the olden days before electricity. They live the way we do now, in regular houses or apartments, they drive, have jobs, eat the same foods we eat, etc. But they do do pow wows so they stay in teepees or RVs or tents, dress up as Native Americans and dance and sing in their own language and they do it for a few days in the summer and people go there and watch them.

So not everything in textbooks are true.

PS my bf has some Native American in him. I just have the blood while my brother has the skin color in the summer and the eyes and hair and my two cousins have the skin color and my dad is Native American and so was my grandfather. I think my dad has some white in him though but has enough Native American in him to be considered one. One of his brother's is also Native American even though he doesn't have the hair color.


I even wonder if there are any Native Americans out there still who are 100% and have zero white in them instead of being mixed.
