5/12 I'm trying to make a line graph in the open office spreadsheet (Calc), and I can't get the X axis labels formatted the way I want.

(besides, aside from this one problem, I'm very happy with Calc) |

5/11 Partha, I like Bengalis, they seem to be quite educated and clean and have manners. But I have a lot of problems with Southern Indians. We have a bunch of Southernersss and they're 1) loud 2) smell badly 3) they seem very righteous and insist they're always right and that you're wrong 4) they tend to be quite rude and interrupt me when I speak and seem to have very little manners. Is this common among Southerners and why? \_ Partha is a southy. \- Your brain has been classified as: small. \- Bengalis have the reputation as the Righteous/Arguing Kings. Southerners are often quiet and polite. As for the rest, maybe it is the Coconut oil, or your small sample size. --psb \_ This is consistent with my limited experience. The most polite member of my lab in Seattle was from Hyderabad, for example. I don't know if Hyderabad is considered "South", though he refered to it as such. -- ulysses \_ I don't know, but I think Tamil tigresses are the most beautiful, not like ugly northern Indian girls. |

I've found a bit of stuff about it on the web, but I remember reading this one story about a kid who was trying to be perfect and ended up just drinking tea and doing nothing all day. or something like that. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? - rory \_ Yes! I don't know what Junior Great really is, but I do know that book specifically. It was called Be A Perfect Person In 3 Days, and the kid did stuff like sitting around in a dark room for an entire day and sip tea, or eat broccoli, or respond to people's questions with weird responses. Good book. \_ I think it was a longer period (3 weeks) and he had to wear the broccoli around his neck. Also, the book was smarter than the kid, and when he tried to sneak a peek at the last page, it warned him that he had to follow the rules to a T. \_ ah. cool, thanks... that's it.

4/28 Frederick is charged with maltreatment, assault and indecent acts for posing for a photograph while sitting on top of a detainee, striking detainees and ordering detainees to strike each other, among other things. Frederick wrote home to his family about the treatment of prisoners. He said in an e-mail: "We helped getting them to talk with the way we handle them. We've had a very high rate with our styles of getting them to break; they usually end up breaking within hours." The pictures 60 Minutes II obtained show an Iraqi prisoner who, according to the U.S. Army, was told to stand on a box with his head covered and wires attached to his hands. That prisoner was told that if he fell off the box, he would be electrocuted. In another photograph, prisoners' bodies were stacked in a pyramid - one body had a slur written in English on his skin. \_ What do you expect?
