I think transitive-verb would suffice instead of animate-verb. (My example would have been funnier if I had used an intransitive verb to make that point, e.g. "Frog don't sleep people. People sleep people.
Oh, and it should be plural-inanimate-noun. Glad you got my point, though.
Higher octane does get you higher gas mileage / power IF the lower octane resulted in engine knock which the engine control computer compensated for by retarding the timing.

Yeah, I heard the pronunciation of physicist Alain Aspect's name on Nova's The Fabric of The Cosmos, and I was shocked...shocked! I tell you. Ass-pay? Really? I mean I knew it couldn't be the same as the English word "aspect", but it freaked me out that there was a silent "ct".
Indeed. How does AC know this? DavidSell's and antitithenai's comment histories fit with AC's assertion, but ByOhTek and Bonch's comment histories suggest that they are not at all fixated on MS-related stories.
I've worked for two Japanese companies, including now. My Japanese cow-orkers take vacations (sometimes combining business and a vacation back in Japan), but yeah they all work 'til 8pm or later regularly. The American workers leave before the boss usually but there is quiet pressure to work later than we would otherwise.
I work for a Japanese company here in the US, and even here Japanese guys work regularly until past 8pm. If they go home earlier, supposedly their wives get the idea they're slackers, so in Japan a lot of guys stay late at work, go to bars or play pachinko or whatever instead going home to their families. Can't be good for families. Why would you have kids if all your memories of childhood are loneliness and neglect?
Cover all those devices with just one super awesome appliance that should be in every kitchen: the microwave oven with built-in oscilloscope and CD player!
The question is not whether or not the bags should go through customs. They should. The question is whether one should have to carry them themselves through customs. One should not.
Maybe, but Hong Kong is the airport that found and confiscated a little box-cutter that I had inadvertently left in my carry-on backpack, after having gotten through the SFO airport and onto the plane with it, back in 2006.

You want sweet?
The Romans actually did put lead acetate in their wine to sweeten it.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Well, since the liver goes well with a nice chianti, it would be fair to try a riesling or sauvignon blanc with brains.
With a fair amount of overlap between those groups, most likely.
Many programmers (and Excel users!) use the $ sign you insensitive clod.
FTFY.
Seriously though, for currency, other than USD?
Not if they want people to know what the hell they're talking about.

I know but that's just not funny.
Or further away from lots of other people. There's plenty of nature between 50S and 50N latitude.
Frog don't lick people. People lick people.
Hmm. I'm not sure how that template works.

So who bought the farm?
Ha ha.
How about str[&amacr]t?
There is a whole subset of musician jokes around violas and the trope that viola players weren't good enough to play violin etc.
Hint: unknown *to many*. Most people are not sailors.

If they come with the extra apostrophes, they're a bargain at any price, and I'll take two, please.

It might be obligatory, but not for this story. Try the one next door.
Ah, thanks. I did not know that distinction....

"boosting" can mean "stealing", though it is not a common usage.
