We should put what happened in Major League...

It’s like the Seychelles beat Spain for the 2010 World Cup.
It’s like that finance minister who criticized Medvedev stayed in office and beat Vladimir Putin for the Russian presidency.
It’s like a person in France saying “We are awarding the 2011 Fromage Championship to processed American cheese.”

L’shanah tovah!
I had New years dinner last night… and no… I am not Jewish. :-)

Women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to get depressed, research suggests.
It is not clear why it might have this effect, but the authors believe caffeine in coffee may alter the brain’s chemistry. Decaffeinated coffee did not have the same effect.

They have small breasts, and big ones, and no breasts whatsoever.Real women start their lives as baby girls. And as baby boys. And as babies of indeterminate biological sex whose bodies terrify their doctors...
