I would bet on a medium-sized to big, healthy dog against a velociraptor. Raptors were around the size of a turkey. Might not be an easy fight, though.

The pronunciation of the "t" in this case is a result of liaison, not enchaînement. Enchaînement has to do with the syllabification of French phrases, e.g. "seize heures" is pronounced like "sê zeur," "mov

The research has already been funded through taxes. The money made from journal subscriptions goes to the publisher, not to the researchers or their institutions. The reason why researchers publish in such expensive journals is historical (

Starting at age 27 I learned French, Spanish, and Italian to a pretty good level: I can understand movies and usually communicate with native speakers without asking them to slow down or switch to English. I used a combination of Assimil (a

This site claims that the average lifespan would be 8,938 years if people died only from "unnatural causes": http://polstats.com/#!/life Obviously this would depend greatly on where you live (much more likely

Ha! I kind of feel the same way. In my case it seems like a full night's sleep makes my senses sharper and the environmental annoyances at work become that much more irritating and hard to ignore. Maybe I also have come to associate th

That is weird. There are many ways to "die from hypertension," strokes and heart attacks among them. If there was no link to those outcomes, then what was the hypertension causing? Kidney disease? Cerebral hemorrhage?

The rule is to write Ç with cedilla even when capitalized, but from what I gather French keyboards make it inconvenient, so people often neglect it. On the other hand, it is true that there are no above-letter accents for capitals (in Franc

After smoking a good amount I had a similar experience in which it seemed, as you said, that I stopped forming short term memories. I also had a nearly constant sensation of "just having woken up," as if every minute or so I was r

She couldn't think of one off of the top of her head, but she mentioned The Good Wife (again, a show about lawyers) as being particularly bad. She saw My Cousin Vinny, but long before she had studied law, so she doesn't remember i

Judging by my wife's comments when we watch shows, lawyers are probably even worse off for inaccuracies (and this often goes just as well for shows that are about the justice system). But they also get a lot more screen time.

The pun actually does work in French, amusingly enough, although in French one says that working devices are "walking" (marcher) rather than "running" (courir). Bonjour. Est-ce que votre réfrigérateur marche ? /&#x2
