Re: Random Questions Game
Pretty well. It's early enough in the season that nights are still cool enough, but not so cool that the windows need to be closed. I have a fuzzy cat on my lap, a dog on my feet, and a glass of malbec in my hand. Life is good.

Re: Random Questions Game
My brother, Joseph. He is rigorously honest & idealistic to a fault, and does not believe, "Be practical; that is just not how they do things" is a valid point about how the government is run. He loves nothing more than shining a super bright spotlight on things that are wrong. The Halls of Congress could use a super strong spotlight I think.
I don't think someone as inflexible as he is would do well for more than one term, but I do think he would shake shit up & expose some corruption.
What about you? Same question.

Except he's 33, so he doesn't qualify.
I think I'd go with my father-in-law Mike. He is deeply intellectual, informed, and compassionate. He and my mother-in-law have adopted six children. He is by nature a problem-solver, and treats people with dignity and courtesy even if he can't stand them.
Plus he'd probably hate the job and not run for re-election.

I don't think so. Though it is legal in some states, some companies disallow their employees to partake in these recreational activities and are legally allowed to hold this standard. But federal law may have different standards.

Re: Random Questions Game
I am gonna bump this becasue I have a real random question; it is something I have ALWAYS wondered about.
Why don't we call countries by what they call themselves? And I don't mean English specifically. Like let's look at that European country that is the home of Octoberfest and schadenfreude. They call themselves Deutschland. We call them Germany, the French call them Allemagne. Why is that?

Re: Random Questions Game
I've never figured that out either. What's even weirder is we do it when names change to. Like Czechia for Czech republic, mirroring a change there to change their name to 'Cesko'. So, why don't be call it Czecho or czescho? And, even more odd, where does that Z come from? It's not there in the actually Czech word, and nor do we pronounce it as though there is a Z there...?S~V~S wrote:I am gonna bump this becasue I have a real random question; it is something I have ALWAYS wondered about.

Re: Random Questions Game
Due to its geographic location and robust history (pre-and-post Holy Roman Empire conflicts), that particular country received a number of names that stem from five main groups:
1. The Latin name for the region Germania
2. The Old High German word diutisc, which means "native"
3. The Alemanni tribal confederation
4. The Saxon tribe
5. The Slavic word němьcь, which means "foreigner"
For other countries, linguistic corruptions play a part. For instance, Nippon is an island off the Asian mainland. While in China, Marco Polo heard the Chinese dialect of that country, Cipangu. When he got back to Italy, that got corrupted to Giappone. Now we say "Japan."
And let's be honest: We'd rather say "North Korea" than "Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk."
