For several years, i've seen a video circulating on the web, of a nude gymnast doing tumbling. She did pretty well from my untrained eye. I always thought it was just some girl who trained in gymnastics and did the vid. Today, i saw a vid on youporn: http://youporn.com/watch/28924/nude-gymnast/. The vid includes a brief subtitle. She is actually gold gymnast Corina Ungureanu↗ (b1980) and has appeared in Playboy.
Many countries, typically Europe and Canada, has high taxes on gasoline, so their gas is 3 to 4 times higher than USA. Also, some countries, including Chian, Taiwain, and mostly oil-producing countries, subsidize on gas (i.e. government pays some), so that gasoline is cheaper than market rate. See Gasoline usage and pricing↗
Following is a quote from Bertrand Russell↗ in Has Religion Made Useful Contributions to Civilization?↗:
What is true of Christianity is equally true of Buddhism. The Buddha was amiable and enlightened; on his deathbed he laughed at his disciples for supposing that he was immortal. But the Buddhist priesthood — as it exists, for example, in Tibet — has been obscurantist, tyrannous, and cruel in the highest degree.

Spent about 10 hours in the past 2 days updating my English Vocabulary. Putting words into a XML styled format with precise containings on usage examples, source, etc. Also tracing the original Time articles the usage examples came from. Most of them are from Time Mag article of the 1990s. Not surprisingly, searchig the exact phrase can can locate the original article thru search engines. I've only updated about maybe 20%. A lot more work to come.
