No they're not. One of the best steaks that you can get is Aberdeen Angus and the reason it is so tasty is the fat marbling that the breed has in the flesh. Of course it also has to be hung for a couple of weeks first other wise it doesn't develope its true flavour. Oh yes and it has to be very rare as well.
Then surely football (soccer) matches would be an ideal target.Over 60,000 people inside Old Trafford during a match. But that would be almost too easy. The whole point about the aircraft is that it makes a big flash and bang and is seen on news channels all over the world and you have to be "cleverer" in beating the security that is in place. I would imagine an aircraft also represents in some way Western technological supiriority. Bin Laden's wet dream is probably to blow up the space shuttle.
You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that there is such a thing as a "genuine crop circle". All crop circles (or whatever shape they are) are made by people.
What made Yahoo powerful was it's directory because back in the elder times there were no search engines. If you wanted to find something you either had to go to Yahoo or stumble across it. Of course, most of you are too young to remember that.

The French are now goodies, on your side: they're helping out Condi with sorting out the mess in Lebanon and French Fries are back on the menu in the canteen on Capitol hill.
If I (and millions of other people) wish to use the verb "to google" to mean "to search for something on the internet" then we will and Google can do fuck all about it.
Dictionaries, whose job in the English speaking world is to descriptively (we don't have prescriptive dictionaries like the French and Germans) document meaning and usage of the English Language, would be failing in their duty if there was no entry reflecting the use of "to google" in the sense described above.
Me(to Google the search engine company):
google! google! google! (hops around like the mad hermnit in life of Brian) I've said it again. What are you going to do about? google,google,google.
Google (looking like John Cleese): Shut up!
Me: google,google,google, I'm going to google for something!
For all you anally retentive morons who've been replying to my post. I am well aware of the "facts", from more than one side, in the both cases of shootings recently in the UK. One guy was shot dead another was wounded. These incidents are very regrettable and, in a perfect world, they would not have happened. However we live in this world, where there is a threat of terrorism, intelligence is hard to come by and the security services have to sort out a lot of conflicting information to find out the meerest hint of what might be going on. The two shootings were the result of errors in intelligence. Nobody was shot because they were islamic or had brown skin. The british police are not running round shooting people like some third world death squad.
If you are in the UK and are scared of being shot by the police then I can only suggest that your risk analysis skills need working on. Even if the shootings were directed exclusively against brown skinned/muslim then you really have more chance of being hit by a lightning than being shot. Saying that you are scared of being shot is just political posturing and you know it.
For fuck's sake! The police shot one guy by accident and suddenly we're all living in terror of police death squads. What fucking planet are you living on ?
What's wrong with changing your opinions suddenly after a sudden revelation. I used to be a bit of a leftist until I visited East Berlin and found out what the GDR was really like. I became anti-left virtually overnight.
Actually these journeys from one-side of the political spectrum to another are common and not as sudden as they appear. The usual case is that peoples beliefs change over a longer time, but they continue to spout the old stuff so as not to lose face. There then comes an event that maked them unable to "carry out the pretence any longer"/"fool them selves that what they say is what they believe". Then you get this flip.
You could try spelling it paedophilia. Which is, AFAIK, the correct spelling in British and Australian English. Searching for "UK laws on paedophilia" turns up quite a few results.

"Who" is only inflected to "whom" in the accusative and dative cases. In the nomanative it remains "who" and in the genetive it becomes "whose". THose who've learned german or latin will know that the verb "to be" always causes the nominative case.
N: That is who. A: You hit whom? D: To whom did you give the book? G: Whose book is this?

Is it fuck a noun. Unless they've changed all the dictionaries in the last few minutes hinder is a verb and only a verb.
... it has really fucked up spelling and grammar, or did someone slip in "hinder" as a noun when I wasn't looking?

The aversion to expending a little extra effort seems to be a uniquely American thing
You haven't travelled much have you? Ever lived in Spain, Italy, Ireland to name juts the first three that come to mind.
An Irish MEP(Member of the European Parliamant) and a Spanish MEP were discussing their respective langtuages.
"Tell me Mr Murphy", said Senor Alvarez, " Do you have a word in you language that has a similar meaning to our word manana ?"
Mr Murphy thought for a minute then answered "Hmm! Ah Yes, sure we do, but it doesn't have the same sense of urgency."
(sorry about the missing accents in the spanish words)
It's also not a salesmens job to lie. This guy was lying. What he should have said was "I don't know"
