In East London, I get mine for £5 which is $8 ( by todays exchange rate ). Daniel, depends upon the complexity of the haircut. I watched an African man get a haircut the other day for 30 mins. and he had so much specific demands .. 3cm this way . that side a tiny bit .. god! `No offence meant to any African members.` |

the trains have snow guards... think of it like metallic skirts around the wheels. Apparently snow got in through the guards ( the snow guards were faulty??? ) and then sat inside while it was travelling in France. As the train got into the tunnel, the snow melted and KAPPOW! .. I mean short circuited stuff and the trains were borked |

Final silly question of the year
Why is it: 95% of the time i put on my earbuds without looking (which is most of the time), i always put the left earbud into my right ear (and it happened like hundreds of times already)? The two are the same and visually no different, except the "R" and "L" on them, so the chance should be 50-50 for this case, shouldn't it? Anyone got similar experience? My three possible answers are: - dejavu: so i always feel that it happened many more times that i actually is (when the actual ratio was close to 50-50) - the earbud was specially designed: but shouldn't it be designed so the user would put the right earbud into right ear? - divinity: the Universe or God designed things so, to prove that science and chance can't prove everything (it's silly through )

The memory of doing things that you do a lot lets you do things automatic Same with other things you never forget like sitting on a bike, or making a dish Left and right earplugs are not exactly the same in design, well mine aren't, if you have them in your ear the speaker part is sticking forward deeper into your ear, if you grab the earplug you automatically know which one it is based on touch and remembering what part goes where, like walking you never forget it not if you do it daily |

Just recently, I have tried to consciously put a random earbud into my ear without looking, and the chance actually around 50-50. So yeah, it's likely that either it was because selective memory or my unconscious mind choose the left one by default (as you two mentioned)....
PS: Ringo Mogire Beam~! and Kaerimichi are probably the two best OP of the year 2009, right ? ^^ ...and yeah Happy New Year everyone

Poll with two blades at each end? Arguably I see it used more as a staff weapon then a spear which is mostly piercing action. If I were to get a poll and attach two boulders to each side would you refer to it as a hammer/spear? it doesn't need to have a one word name to be a weapon.

Look, it's a stick with a metal point on each end. How do you call it?

Seems like you're pushing it, the typical spear is two-handed weapon to begin with; but call it what you wish its a fictional weapon. The answer to the original question is still, there is no really well known/used equivalent (which is not to say crazy people aren't there to sell you similar looking stuff).

Headed, not handed.
Edit: I don't know why you insist that spears with two heads can't exist. A slightly longer search indicates that they were, in fact, used. And that they are called "Shuang Tou Qiang", which I guess is Chinese for "Double Headed Spear". (I know that calling a spade a spade is not mandatory, but.) Another guess is that kung fu practitioners spin the damn things a lot, so some of them liked not to have to worry about which end was pointed toward the enemy when the opportunity to jab him with it came.
