It seems apparent to me that the colours were added to the illustrations at a later date, probably by someone's child using the manuscript like a colouring book. A dead giveaway is the way alternating segments have been coloured in flowers to present a pretty pattern rather than realism.
The 10% of the general population who are left-handed don't seem to have any problems with it.
Also, my experience around artistic types in the music industry makes me suspect that among professional photographers you'd be likely to find a significantly higher percentage of left-handers than in the general public.
I love that idea that this information might help to save lives.
What it really means is that the army gets to kill a lot more foreigners on their land, with less risk to themselves. More people will die, not less.
But I forgot, brown people don't count as real people, especially if they don't speak English.
I've had a few hemp shirts over the years and they've been great. Soft, comfy, and hard-wearing. I've never found them scratchy or irritating. If they were a bit cheaper, I'd have a lot more of them. Same goes for trousers.
And no, I don't smoke or otherwise ingest pot.
But I'm not English.
It was an imaginary letter written to Americans lampooning their inability to make obvious decisions. Looks like a lot of it cut pretty close to home considering the reaction it provoked in you.
For what it's worth, I personally couldn't care less about footall, soccer, or whatever sport anyone wants to play.
German cars are fantastic though.
In the light of your failure to distinguish between the scientific method and imaginary invisible friends in the sky, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Gordon Brown, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels.
Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed".
2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.
6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game.
The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.
Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2011.
7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "sh*t".
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. December 1st will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day".
9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
Sadly, NS10s were some of the worst sounding studio monitors used. The premise of them is that if you could get your mix to sound good on NS10s, it'd sound good on nearly anything. Also, they were ubiquitous. So, like knowing Protools, if you were used to mixing on NS10s you could mix at most studios in the western world.
I wouldn't willingly listen to music on NS10s for pleasure.

Since when has Spain been a developing country? It's part of Western Europe, and an incredible place to visit.

well spotted :)
But it *is* Indecision Day we're talking about, after all.

Just so you know, I'm Australian. And it's blatantly obvious where you're from :D
