My daughter is in school in Rio this summer. Tuesday she wrote the following:

"Yesterday, a group of students from the program went down to Copacabana beach to watch the Brazil-Chile game on a giant screen set up by the FIFA folks. The atmosphere, after Brazil won, was pretty much like University Ave after the Gators win a National Championship -- only magnified by an entire city."

I'm sure she exaggerates, as nothing can be as awe-inspiring as the Gators winning, but I'm beginning to get the idea. So now that team USA is out of the picture, Viva Brasil!

I'm embarrassed to say that it actually took me about three seconds to figure that one out. :oops:

*g* Welcome, ya!

Talking of boobies, rather looking forward to the former head of Interpol (hopefully) going down on corruption charges today. Amongst other tricks, seemed to think it was OK to cut-and-paste a document together for evidence /during/ the trial, apparently forgetting to make the fabrication look anything like the original he /knew/ the court had. :roll:

(Par for the course for modern-day South Africa, sad to say, and just about a low for Interpol short of having a previous president executed for war crimes...).

Question: I just purchased some acid-free cardboard backings.

Both sides are white, but one side is kind of shiny and one side is kind of a flat white.

Which side should touch my products?

The shiny side.

No wonder British Airways are losing money. They should sack their marketing manager:

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

The Netherlands beat Brazil! Didn't see that one coming. Maybe it was my imagination or lack of experience watching the game but Holland seems to have a few dirty players and are very good at fakery. Especially Arjen Robben. That guy fell every time a Brazilian player looked at him. Holland had four yellow cards and I kept expecting the ref to throw a red card at them but it never materialized. It looked like Brazil just lost their composure near the end.

Hopefully a good match coming up this afternoon between Uruguay and Ghana.

That's a good assessment. Robben is very good at making nothing look very nasty indeed! There was a prime example in the second half where he flew into the air, rolling & holding his leg, when the replay should practically zero contact.

However, my bet of a Dutch Spain final is still on the cards!
