Too bad Lithuania lost; although Lithuanians despise us, I really admire their basketball team. The bronze medal match will definitely attract more attention than the final. There is really something wrong with modern basketball: Argentina advancing to the finals, Serbia & Montenegro fighting...

81:89. Team United States has lost to Team Argentina in the semifinals. Rest in pieces. I doubt competing for the bronze medal was in the team's plans.

A hard-fought game indeed, and I have serious doubts that US will win these Games. The Dream Team doesn't look unbeatable anymore; Team Lithuania does.

Gnome power - vote Nebin and Gimble!!! Of all female characters, Lidda and Vadania definitely tower above the rest.

Yeah, that's mostly true, but the standard of doing "pretty well" is considerably lower than it used to be. 15 gold medals three days before the closing ceremony is certainly below the expectations; ironically, if you summed up all medals won by ex-USSR athletes (including those who moved to the...

You forgot about Russia! You'd better ask: why does Russia, the largest country of the world with a population of 140+ million and great sports achievements in the past, lag behind? Fortunately, our wrestlers, athletes and rhythmic gymnasts are rectifying this situation. We already have more...

Thank you. Dr. Awkward, you have been very helpful. :) As for Ontario... I'm not going there, because I already visited Toronto (as I recall, it's in Ontario province) three years ago. And the prices were really good indeed.

I'm going on a two-week trip to Canada, and, as I will spend most of this time in Montreal, I'd like to know where one can buy Dungeons & Dragons products in this city. All responses are greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't be such a pessimist, Lichtenheart. All you have is to beat Bulgaria really hard and hope Sweden vs. Denmark doesn't resut in a draw.

Denmark have played quite well and deserved their three points. However, Batista is a real dumb@$$ of a referee.

2 Kaleon Moonshae: Whew, thanks for such a lengthy and well-considered reply!!! :) Yeah, I understand that such paradoxes are intentionally off-beat and have little to do with real-life situations, but some are quite odious, because they demonstrate the flaws of such method of thinking. They...

Oh, I adore jungle settings. I've read all these adventures (and the Conan stories), and I was deeply impressed. At present, I'm working on a large adventure that is set in a vast rainforest...

As nearly all examples concerned with alignment (and paladins in general), this one suffers some serious logical errors. First, a town made up of women and children? That's rather strange, because a community cannot function properly unless it has a large percentage of robust, hard-working adult...

Oops. My bad.

Whew! The French managed to get away. I hope they won't have the same kind of trouble with Switzerland... IMHO, France will be the first, England second, Croatia third, and Switzerland last with a big ZERO in both points and goals.

Hey, Rooney is the youngest player in history to score in Euro final round!!!

Most implementations of monotheism that I have seen usually fragment The One God's essence in different "saints", "servitor spirits", "orders", etc., each with a list of several domains. Although it is somewhat blasphemous from my own perspective, it is one of the most feasible ways to handle...

Agreed. Your team is just plain stronger. And the French should definitely run over Croatia.

And unfair, too... Ovchinnikov DID NOT touch the ball, and that's pretty evident on the TV replay. Nevertheless, we have only ourselves to blame. With such a performance, we could barely hope for a 0:0 draw. No such luck. Ah, well. I guess I'll sit back and enjoy the rest of the championships...

Alas, even physically mature players happen to have juvenile mindset...
