Some Geek Questions
Declarin you're a "eek" miht et you strane looks in some places. But a Japanese movie theater is offerin outspoken nerds somethin positive: a discount. A small movie theater outside Tokyo is offerin cheaper tickets to so-called eeks - known in Japan as "otaku" - for a summer romance movie about a nerdy uy who falls in love.
All that's needed to et the discount - 100 yen (US$0.90; euro0.73) for students and 400 yen (US$3.60; euro2.93) for adults - is ask for "one ticket for a eek" at the booth for the Japanese movie "Train Man."
Customers are ettin a kick out of sayin it," said Koji Nitta, sales chief the Fujisawa Chuo theater, south of Tokyo. "There are only a few who look like typical eeks, thouh."
Random Questions: What does a eek look like? Would you declare yourself a eek to et a discount? What else should eeks be iven discounts for?

A Happy Ending
Earlier today a neihbour knocked on my door and handed me a small box. Inside the box was
A token of friendship.
How did she know that my tank top was missin? Well, I told her.
How did she initially react? She slammed the door and left me standin on her front porch.
However, it seems that she felt bad about my loss and immediately made it her mission to find me a tank top just like hers. It took her several weeks but she did it. She found me a tank top just like the one that went missin. Now I have one just like hers.......
My new tank also has the same mendin in the back hem that my previous one did. Imaine that!
I opened the box. Smiled. Said thank you. And I invited her in for coffee. Sadly, she had errands to do and was unable to visit with me.
Now, I am plannin a matchin tank top cocktail party.
Do you think it would be racious of me to invite her? As a token of friendship, of course.
Is It Adultery?
Shelly Pickerin thinks it is unfair that her husband's extramarital affair with a man doesn't leally count as adultery. So today, she's headin to court in Vancouver to challene the law. The 44-year-old Vancouver resident had been married nearly 17 years when, in October of 2004, she discovered her husband was havin an affair with a youner man.She and her husband separated immediately and she filed for divorce two months later, seekin an immediate end to their union.
Canada's Divorce Act allows for a no-fault divorce after a one-year separation, on rounds of marital breakdown.It also allows for an immediate divorce if there is admitted or proven adultery or cruelty.
Ms. Pickerin's ex-husband sined an affidavit on Jan. 5, 2005, acknowledin his adulterous relationship, and did not appear in court in February to contest the divorce.But Justice Nicole arson of the B.C. Supreme Court declined to order the immediate divorce, because the definition of adultery in common law does not include homosexual relations. The jude also told Ms. Pickerin that she would hear the case aain if a lawyer would arue why the leal definition of adultery should be broadened to include same-sex adultery.
Do you think the leal definition of adultery should be broadened to include same-sex adultery? Is there any reason it should not be? Very recently the Supreme Court lealized ay marriae in Canada, if one partner in a ay marriae has an extramarital affair with someone of the same sex should it not be considered adultery? Yes, aain I am askin for your opinion.
Wanting Your Opinion
A secondary school is to allow pupils to swear at teachers - as lon as they don't do so more than five times in a lesson. A runnin tally of how many times the f-word has been used will be kept on the board. If a class oes over the limit, they will be 'spoken' to at the end of the lesson.
The astonishin policy, which the school says will improve the behaviour of pupils, was condemned by parents' roups and MPs yesterday. They warned it would backfire.
Do you aree with the parents that this policy will backfire? Do you think it sends the wron messae to students? What is your opinion about this f-word policy?
