* Chuva de pedras:

Na autoestrada Porto-Lisboa, ainda nao acabaram as pedradas. Aqui ha
dias registou-se mesmo uma chuva de pedras com 14 automoveis atingidos,
na zona S Paio dos Oleiros. A GNR de Santa Maria de Lamas, que tomou
conta de varias queixas inclina-se para a hipotese de ter havido mais do
que uma pessoa a atirar pedras em mais do que um local, porque alguns
veiculos foram atingidos de lado e outros por cima. Embora sem danos
pessoais, os prejuizos nos automoveis foram enormes, tendo uma das
vitimas calculado que precisaria de 400 contos para reparar o carro. A
Brisa continua a nao se responsabilizar pelo assunto, mas a GNR esta
cada vez mais decidida a descobrir os culpados,pelo menos naquela zona.
Para isso, pediu ja licenca para fazer patrulhas em veiculos civis que
nao denunciem a sua presenca.

* Latin ao vivo

Quem disse que o Latim e uma lingua morta? Para quem assim pensasse, o
Vaticano decidiu demonstrar que "omnia dici possunt latine", ou seja,
que tudo pode ser dito em latim. Uma pastoral distribuida recentemente
as dioceses explica como se designam na lingua oficial da igreja as
expressoes mais utilizadas na vida moderna.
So alguns exemplos: compact-disc e "astrictus sonorus que orbis (qui
vulgari dicitur compact-disc)" e discoteca diz-se "orbium
phonographicorumtheca". Os publicitarios sao os "laudativis nuntiis
vulgatores" e best-seller, "liber maxime diveditus". Transito
engarrafado em latim e "fluxus interclusio", a maquina de lavar pratos,
o "escariorum lavator". A utilizadissima expressao "garota da capa" em
latim fica "exterioris paginae puella". Bajulador, outra palavra que
convem conhecer, e "adulator impudens".

 Penso que o PTEARN ou mesmo o FCVAX1 (vax da Fac.Cienc.Lis.) nao tem
acesso aos newsgroups. (tenho quase a certeza porque senao ja' teriam
havido varios postings de la). A unica maneira de poderem utilizar a
rede de la' e'se conseguirem arranjar um userid num computador que esteja
a receber news e entrar na rede por ai (fazendo um login remoto).
 Pelo que eu conheco da FCL, a moral da historia e':

do PTEARN nao vao conseguir de certeza; do FCVAX1 havera' uma possibilidade
muito remota

NO! They are more civilized on the issue of sex, even though they are poorer. They just do
not drop their sperms into any body they want, and never care if the sperm became a

Ikebashi-ku?  I think you mean Itabashi-ku.  If you have a college degree,
it'll help very much.  If not, I guess you'll have to look for people who need

Hi, I am trying to find out my high school classmate Chen Jin.
First of all, I'd apologize here for the bandwidth and any

National Public Radio had a report on this bold business adventure.  Though
they didn't (from what I remember) report the location ("downtown Tokyo"),
they did say that the Japanese have embraced the food.  Furthermore, the
first store that opened in Japan broke Subway's record of 1) most sales for
opening day and 2) most sales for first week.

The report also mentioned that that menu in Japan, unlike McDonalds or KFC,
is identical to the one you would find in the US.  They also said the prices
are 25% higher in Japan than the US (on the average I suppose).

First...yes - I know it's a long shot.  It might not even be possible, but
I can at least try :)

I'm looking for a song by a female artist(s?) that was popular in the
summer of 1982.  I don't remember the name of the singer or the song...
just the time-frame when I was in Japan, and heard a song that I
really really liked.

I haven't the foggiest idea as to how to go about looking up something like
this.  This newsgroup may not even be the right one, although I thought
this would be better than one of the general-purpose music newsgroups.

If anyone has any top-20 (or whatever 10, 100, etc) listing for songs
from Summer of 1982, I'd appreciate it.  Or if you could direct me to
some place that might be able to help me out, that would be ok.  I'm
willing to do a little digging, but as I said I havent the foggiest
idea where to start.

Thanks for your time.

I'm a ordinary American and I've been to this place several times.  A Chinese
friend of mine and I go there from time to time (he's from Vietnam, moved to
Taiwan, then to USA).  He's been mistaken to be Japanese by some of the
Japanese? store help (and I told him that if they make that sort of error,
imagine my even worse ability at this!).  Noticed that prices for stuff
like toasters, radios, and such seem high (stuff similar to what you can
get at K-mart and similar stores for less).  Also saw stuff that K-mart
doesn't have, like electronic toilet seats (not sure of the purpose, the
description was in Japanses).
This place is in an odd location, being in an industrial area right next
to the river.  Across the street is some sort of heavy industrial factory
(soap?), and next on one side are warehouses and such.  And this place's
parking lot is too small.

I taught English in To^kyo^ and enjoyed the city.  I passed by O^saka on
Shinkansen, and saw how smoggy the place was.  I prefer To^kyo^!

On April 9, 1942, the American-Filipino forces on Bataan which were unable to
evacuate to Corregidor surrendered.  These were approximately 12,000 Americans
and about 6 times as many Filipinos.  The Japanese turned their full attention
of air and artillery bombardment on the island fortress of Corregidor.

The surrender at Bataan marked the beginning of a horror that was burned into
the American consciousness: the Bataan Death March.  With virtually no food or
water, the already weakened and sick prisoners were forced to march 100 miles
through jungle to prison camps.  Thousands died along the way.  This atrocity,
while not comparable in scale to the Rape of Nanking, was the first time
Americans had experienced the brutal treatment the Japanese military meted out
to those unfortunate enough to become their prisoners.

Even the Nazis showed some respect for the fundamental human rights of their
prisoners as coded in the Geneva Convention.  Most American and British POW's
in Germany lived to tell their story.  It was not the case with prisoners of
the Japanese.  According to the Japanese militarist code, to be taken prisoner
was worse than death, and a prisoner was no longer considered human.  Brutal
beatings and slave labor were routine, as was torture.  POW camps were sited
near munitions factories and other military targets.  Fully 2/3 of the men and
women taken prisoner by the Japanese during WWII died while prisoner.

The Bataan Death March was intended to intimidate the Americans, as a
demonstration of what would lie ahead if the US did not settle the war on
Japan's terms.  In the eyes of To^jo^ and the other Army gangsters which had
seized political power in Japan, the US was `soft' and an easy pushover
compared to the fighting spirit of Dai-Nippon Teikoku's best.  The Japanese
Navy was less confident; a wise move, because Japan's burst of glorious
victory in the war against the US was to last only two more months, after
which there would be three years of long defeat.  The Bataan Death March
reinforced the American resolve, born in the debacle of Pearl Harbor, to fight
until total victory and Japan's unconditional surrender.
