i am cracking up that the g20 statement has found accord on needing to fix global imbalances but puts off any ideas on just how it should be done..nm - x Nov 12, 09:45 6
- honestly, I'm surprised they were able to reach agreement on that much. -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 10:04 1
  - it's not that hard to get countries to agree to something that's as blatantly obvious as that. but what's also amusing is response to u.s. demands... - x Nov 12, 10:09
- I hate to admit this - crash davis Nov 12, 09:52 3

The Big East sucks, but I must say good for Syracuse. They've been really bad for a while. -- nm - Dano Nov 12, 09:40 4
- Actually, they have two I-AA wins so they're definitely not bowl eligible yet. -- nm - Dano Nov 12, 09:44 2
  - Okay, so week 10 and the Big East has no bowl-eligible teams. That's horrible. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 12, 09:44 1

      - No, no. We were all just... you know... taking a break afterwards. -- nm - Mop (216 lbs) Nov 12, 10:05 2
        
        oh .. i see. guess it was too intense then :-) -- nm - marcel Nov 12, 10:09 1

  - You've heard that sound before... from Weezer. -- nm - Reagen Nov 12, 09:42 1
    - The guitar riff at the beginning is lifted right out of a New Order song. Just can't find it yet. I'll give you the vocals, though. Totally Weezer. -- nm - Mop (216 lbs) Nov 12, 09:50
For you older voters, I am the Six Million Dollar Man. -- nm - Beaker Nov 12, 09:38 5
