Know what I love about this thread? That lovely curve in the poll results, with two peaks showing the average height for men and women. :p

@Centrajapan: Thanks for backing up your claim :-)
Two comments:
The first study mentioned in the wiki article says 'citation needed'. That should always ring alarm bells as to the...
I think that's another reason people still believe in astrology. They aren't interested in knowing facts but would rather hang onto their beliefs, ignoring any evidence to the contrary.
Coincidence? If I look at the people close to me there's no discernible pattern - one with a birthday a week behind mine in May, a couple in January, one in Feb, one in April, one in November. Show...
Sites with names like that always disappoint me. If you want to convince someone that what they believe is wrong, calling their beliefs 'silly' is your first mistake. How you say things is as...
This poll is flawed. I don't believe in astrology but I won't call it a pack of lies. To lie means to deceive someone. I don't think astrologers are necessarily intentionally deceiving anyone. ...
Internet, video games and books.
You know those questions someone poses that you just have to have the answer to? If I can't get to a computer and google it I feel like I will go crazy!
I...
We will civilise you yet! Listen well, my padawan: take your spoon (preferably a soup spoon) in your left hand and your fork in your right. Lift a forkful of spaghetti onto the spoon, then twirl...
I also use a fork and spoon. Minty and I are civilised compared to the rest of you barbarians ;-) :p
My favourite Japanese TV show is Monkey. I just love that show. It was the first series I collected on DVD. The characters are just perfect, and the actors portray them so well. The story is...
More a comment on organ donation in general, but I think you should have to opt out of organ donation. I think saving people's lives is more important than what happens to their bodies after they...
I put mozzarella or cheddar on pasta. I also like tortellini pasta stuffed with ricotta cheese. One of my favourite quick lunches is to cook some dry pasta, toss it in some olive oil, oregano and...
Just an FYI for those who don't know about the 'bad post report' button. The button looks like this:

and can be found to the left...
I'm semitic - is that caucasian? I'm pasty-faced, so I guess so. As for my blood group, I have no idea.
I have very slight presbyopia (only +0.25), but not through age as I have had it since I was about 9 or 10. I can see perfectly well without glasses, although I have to hold whatever I'm looking at...
We don't really have 'kindergarten' as a separate thing. I suppose nursery class and reception class together equate with your kindergarten.
Legally a kid has to start full time education at the start of the term following their 5th birthday. But most primary schools have a reception class, which children start in the September following...
Ages 4-11 :-)
They would need a university degree in a national curriculum subject and a teaching qualification. Then they would most likely teach that subject, but there is nothing stopping them teaching...
In my experience people like that are a small minority, but that could be because I live in a 'working class' area. AFAIK there are no regulations here about who can teach what, although the Art...
I can only speak for the UK. I worked as a school librarian in a 11-16 secondary school for 4 years.
Most of my teachers were well-educated, and joined the profession because of their love of...
It won't be long until it's 15,000! Wow!
I can't speak for Japan, but the thing I like best about Belgium is the food. Being vegetarian can be difficult, but it is easy in Belgium as there is so much variety - for example, you can always...
Maciamo, I don't think you even have to explain why you were unhappy. You have been honest about it, and that's enough, IMO.
I hope things are better for you back in your home country, and I hope your wife likes Belgium better than you liked Japan! :cool:
