    Wonderful book isn't it

    My brain isn't working, I tried to decide if it was a really large coin or a very very small scifi/fantasy novel and decided the US have a few really large coins for some reason.

    The nutritional value of this book is pretty low, though - and I mean that both in the physiological and the intellectual sense.

    Not to be a nerd, but it may be a book made for dollhouses. My Mother-in-law has a dollhouse and has a few tiny magazines; the covers look just like their normal size counterparts (People, Better Homes and Gardens). So someone probably shrunk the original cover print to fit a very small wood block, and voila! You have Atlas Shrugged in your dollhouse's library room. Why your doll is reading such things instead of cooking in the kitchen is a whole other question, though.....

    I had the same problem for a few seconds.

    Don't feel like stringing up lights outside this year, so I used them inside the house. Girls don't seem to mind, this is their bunk bed. Don't need a night light now either

    What does it say for those of us who don't read Cyrillic, nor speak/read any of the associated languages...?

    The point is to add up the numbers. It's results for the Russian parliamentary election in one district. The numbers add up to about 150%. Putin's party is on first place of course.

    146.47%

    Was this a multiple-choice vote? That could make the numbers work out.

    No, sadly it was not.

    A luxury sports car outing in Japan ended in an expensive motorway pile-up.

    Eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes worth a total of at least $1m (£639,000) were involved in the crash on the Chugoku expressway in Shimonoseki, south-western Japan.

    Police believe the accident on Sunday happened when the driver of one of the Ferraris tried to change lanes and hit the median barrier. He spun across the motorway and the other cars collided while trying to avoid hitting his car.

    Some people shouldn't have toys, they just don't look after them.
