One fairly well regarded count of speakers of world languages came up with two million speakers of Esperanto.
You could say with the same clean conscience ten million or 100.000. Nobody knows exactly how many people speak Esperanto. You should read "Esperanto sen mitoj"
The 1997 World Congress had 45,000 visitors.
Where do you get your data from? UEA lists 1,224 in Adelaide '97. The record is Nuermberg '23 with 4,963. Montpellier '98 had 3,133. Maybe there were more in Zagreb '01.
want it to replace, well, everything.
That was never the goal for Esperanto. It's an auxilary language, not a primary one, meant to supplement native languages, not replace them.
It's a language. It may be used for everything: as an auxiliary, as a substitute (see Lanti), as a hobby, to get rich (well, not now), to get laid,...
It's true that the majority of the organized esperantists don't intend it as a unique world language, but such freaks do exist.
bundled up the files into an uncompressed zipfile with -e0, and then compressed that. This gives you a few percent over compressing the files straight into a zipfile, when they are compressed individually.
I tried once to do that but I noticed that the size were simlilar if not bigger. I guess it would only work with lots of very small files.
So if Canada spends a lot of money in the area and receives very little, why is it claiming the area? Do they love so much the Eskimos (that have been living in the area for centuries)? Do they love so much the wildlife?
To think that only a few hundred years ago, we were all in our separate continents, living in dull homogeneity.
Well,... African slaves to Europe and America, European crusaders to East Mediterranean, Asian nomads to Europe, Indonesians to Madagascar, Arabs to the Pacific, and others didn't stay in their continents
Juan Luis Arsuaga has a "first name" or "personal name" of Juan Luis and a familiy name of Arsuaga. So calling Dr Arsuaga "Luis Arsuaga" is as weird as "Juan Arsuaga". He probably is called Juan Luis (if he doesn't have a nickname) by his friends.
As far as I know, 10.000 BC is one of the dates estimated for the arrival of Homo sapiens to America.
The ancestors of American Indians and their weapons could have gone in a killing spree from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in just some centuries, preying unto animals that didn't fear men. They would have either killed for food or broken the species balance. That could do the sudden mass extinction of big animals in America. This is the first tiem I see it claimed that it happened in days instead of centuries.
By the way, why did humans survive according to your hypothesis?
"Twenty-two buttons" reminds me of 1983's ORA:CLE. Everybody stays at home because there are aliens (pterodactyl-like, "dacs") around that hunt humans for sport. Besides the Earth is covered with trees to fight CO2. There are mass-transmisors in every home but for wares and non-living things only. The main role is an expert in Chinese history who earns a living doing teleconsulting. There is a worldwide net with micropayments. There are very often tele-elections and referendums on lots of issues.

If you add some "Cindy Crawford" and some banners, you could get self-employed as well.
As Obi Wan would say: "This is not the droid you 're looking for."
This reminds me of that story about a city in Japan named USA. Thus, they could sell their products as "Made in USA".

Spèaking about stereotypes, doesn't "screen name" make you sound like an AOL user?

i didn't know taht you could substitute /friends by /amigos . Are there more synonyms like this?
Lada(that russian car you see in bond movies)
The Lada models I know were licensed by the Soviets from Italian Fiat. Then they maybe added those wipes for the lights.
Niva (4x4) and Zil (limousines) were original Soviet designs, I think.
That would make an incentive for people to kill you so they can steal your work.

So this is not the interview to ask "Boxers or briefs?", is it?
Do they have Obfuscated Lawmaking Contests?
This reminds me of the mask used by Rorschach in "Watchmen". It is supposed to be liquid ink between sheets of plastic.
I think I saw a similar story with a Korean here some months ago. Are you sure this is not an urban legend?

Is there a Repugorgon to make the pair?
