12/21 Anybody know of a web site that list all the cars and their final
assembly location? I cannot believe how hard it is to find this
information online. Car makers do not list it on their web sites
and it's very hard to find this information. Thanks.
\_ It's a bit tedius, but http://edmunds.com does list manufacturing
locations. You have to pick a car, model, and navigate to
"Reviews & Specs" -> Specs |

12/20 Christmas Poll:
real tree:
synthetic tree: . (re-using old ones)
no tree: ...
\_ no gifts, no trees. Say no to unnecessary consumption and
raping mother nature of precious earthly resources.
\_ I wish I was getting laid for Christmas. Instead I'll spend
Christmas Eve watching some stupid Discovery Channel special on
dwarves or midgets or something, then pretend I enjoy
the company of my family on Christmas Day. |

12/21 Anyone recommend a good accountant in SF? Mine moved to corporate
accounts and dropped me -- I expect to pay $500-$1000 for tax prep
and they need to know AMT/.com bubble stock issues. |

12/21 Dalai Lama "is not a call girl"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071221/od_nm/harper_dalailama_odd_dc
"I met the Dalai Lama in my office but I meet everyone in my office. I
don't know why I would sneak off to a hotel room just to meet the
Dalai Lama. You know, he's not a call girl,"
Ha ha!
\_ The implications here are superb. Thank you.
\_ 'China condemned Harper for "disgusting conduct"'
\_ Not for his implied knowledge of call girl etiquette but for
meeting with the Dalai Lama. China: crazier than thou.
\_ You know how a joke is never funny if you try to explain it?
\_ In Soviet China, funny jokes you! |
