    I can't believe I'm standing up for Saudi Arabia here but anyway, the photo is a little disingenuous. There were actually women as part of the women's council and it is chaired by a women. They're not in the picture because Saudi Arabia has very strict rules on segregating people of different genders who aren't related.

    That makes it somewhat better, in fairness. Thanks for that, AC.

    Fair is fair.

    It also means that any criticisms are more valid.


    Anyone know how many women are on that area's council ?

    what do you reckon with the daughter's left hand, it looks a bit oversized or not?

    From Jurassic Park - the iconic scene where the T Rex approaches and the glass of water trembles with the impact.

    In fairness, using that as a detector would only work for very large dinosaurs. I can't see it working for a Dilophosaurus :P

    It's really cool how they made that happen. Basically then knew what the wanted, but the only way they could make it happen was to pluck a string on a guitar as the glass of water was sitting on. So the had to reproduce that effect on a car, by rigging a wire under the car that when plucked made the whole car resonate like a guitar. A massive amount of hassle for that one shot, but when you see how memorable it is, it was worth it.

    ...except for the fact that's the exact opposite of a proposal...


    It still works though. Two individual Cacti become one Cactus in a relationship. Similar to the 'two flames become one' symbol in the church during a wedding.

    Cactus is the singular, cacti is the plural

    Do Cacti grow into each other if put in close proximity or each other?

    I see how you mean, Wilberto, but in that case some grafting would be required. :)

    Metaphorically.

    Let's take the words of some modern poets as an example:

    [Bridge]
    Be a little bit wiser, baby
    Put it on, put it on
    Cause tonight is the night when two become one

    [Chorus]
    I need some love like I never needed love before
    (Wanna make love to ya', baby)
    I had a little love, now I'm back for more
    (Wanna make love to ya', baby)
