Vampire Graves found near Black Sea
I'm not sure which part of this story is more ridiculous. The fact that an iron pike in the chest of two corpses is such big news, or the fact that it starts talking about "modern vampires" as if they were just another group of people like everyone else. |

China rate cut sparks fears of grim May data
A retired debt-collector (legal one) once told me : never lend money you can't get back, and never encourage people to borrow money from you because most of them wouldn't pay you back; if they had prudently watched their finances, they wouldn't need to borrow so much from you. If a normal citizen of a humble society is able to comprehend this, why aren't the big banks and government happily encouraging others to borrow from them without recourse?

Didn't you know? If it doesn't sell for full price, and then have all of its $247 of DLC (consisting of such masterpieces as alternate color pieces of clothing, accessories, and early unlocks for things you can do in game already) purchased, you're degrading the IP and should be arrested for stealing!

Won't someone please think of the big publishers! Please think of the publishers!
I'm just going to keep this quote "just don't look for 75 percent off going-out-of-business sales." handy for when/if Origin goes tits up because they are morons. (unfortunately I think it'll end up coming to EA making all their titles Origin exclusive before they let Origin die, which will probably keep Origin alive like some horribly beaten dead horse.) Oh, you forgot having to pay for content you already should have access to!

American 'illegals' in Mexico
According to the last Mexican census (2010), more than 738,000 people born in the United States now live in Mexico. |

I know of people that have "disappeared" into Mexico. It isn't about the extradition treaty. It is about finding someone and making sure he hasn't paid off the Federales enough to stay "disappeared".

No señor, I wouild not recommend that. Back in the 20th century any federal was corrupt and would take a little money in exchange for keeping his lips sealed. In the 21st century there are two kind of federales, those not yet corrupted by drug lord money and those who have been. Corrupt federal officials serve bloodthirsty drug organizations and if you are running from usa authotiities for a dire yet non famous crime and have large amunts of money for bribes, they might choose to take all of your money and "cook you" so that you truly dissapear.

I doesn't really surprise me that events for otaku seeking marraige partners have higher than average success rates. Some people go on about how socially awkward otaku are, but speaking as an anime fan, most of that awkwardness is because of the stigma - real or perceived - around my hobby. I can be very outgoing and talkative around other otaku. That said,the woman probably are right to be concerned about the"time and energy" bit. I love my girlfriend but I've got to admit that balancing studies, love, and hobbies with sleep can be tricky at times.
