Ok. new silly question:
If female to male population rate of the world is 2 to 1. Does it mean harem would be promoted worldwide then ? Same but 'safer' question: Is there any other reasons for a family to have one wife and one husband, other than because of the ratio of gender in child at birth is currently quite even?

Supposedly there is an equal distribution, according to the 3:1 proportion, it doesn't put down the fact that there is a 50% chance you, as a guy, might meet a spoiled princess. This reduces the ratio to 1.5:1. Then mathematically and logically speaking, you round the 1.5 down, therefore it becomes 1:1 again.

Ok that's a wishful thinking... But where is that 3:1 ratio comes from btw? (Is men all fought and died over resources?). And seriously, get back to my silly question =D

Silly question time:
In the USA, businesses often advertise their phone numbers with both letters and numbers: e.g. 1-800-555-LULZ. My question is, how do you call that number with a traditional phone? What about with a modern phone with a fully-functioning keyboard? |

Thanks guys. I figured I missed something somewhere but now it makes sense.
Just one of those "culture shocks" you still get years after first living in a country I guess. So, if I get this right -- even if you have a full QWERTY keyboard on your phone, punching in the actual letters (e.g. L-U-L-Z rather than 5-8-5-9) would be wrong and wouldn't get me the right call, right? |

How are artists for light novels chosen? I used to think that the writer would choose a good friend of theirs to do the artwork for them, but I recently heard that Itou Noizi wasn't friends with Tanigawa at all before starting Haruhi; apparently The Sneaker thought his story was great, and then bestowed Noizi unto him to do his story's art.
So, how are artists truly chosen? Are they ranked by skill level, and the best artists are given away to the best writers? Do writers choose who they want to draw for them? Heck, do the artists choose who they want to work for? Is it just some big cattle trading business that the big magazines oversee? |
