The cool thing about the Shinkansen's is they're hooked into Japan's early warning network and automatically stop before an earthquake reaches them. http://earthquake-report.com/2011/04/22/2-examples-of-how-technology-made-the-difference-during-the-tohoku-earthquake-and-tsunami/

@Carlmart:

@Anesthetist wonderful photos…in Germany there is an interesting museum related to jeans where Levi Strauss was born:
http://www.levi-strauss-museum.de
with a museum-shop selling jeans, probably unique in the world

Don't expect too much. The Museum focusses on the life and Person of Levi Strauss and only Displays a few items. The shop had no intersting stuff besides one pair of LVC. If you're living Close it's a good Option, but I wouldn't advice driving there for hours, you would be disappointed.

GO SCOTLAND.  Time to finally break free of those greedy English wankers!!

We do not need to get into a political debate about this.  I suspect there are a load of biased opinions on both sides and very little fact.  So let's not get caught up in the bollocks of it all…..

[JCar2666]

True.  Just showing my support

I've shared this on Facebook already, but it wouldn't feel official if I didn't share it with my Iron Heart family too

After 6 weeks of intense and rigorous training, long hours, and a little fun, I've been officially promoted to Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy. What an honor to join the ranks of my fellow Chiefs and to proudly wear the anchors that Chiefs have been wearing for 121 years.
