Romeo and Juliet
Try this my friends~~

Romeo is dead on the floor next to a pool of water and some broken glass. Juliet is asleep on the couch. The door to the room is locked and there is a window, but it is unbroken. What happened?

was this lost to history or has it just be regurgitated?
8 Jan 1992 President George HW Bush vomits in the lap of Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi, and then faints during a state function in Tokyo. The incident spawns the Japanese slang verb bushusuru (literally, "Bushing it") to refer to puking.
~~~
Forgive me, but it is one of those occasions, whereby I cannot recall this shocking incident at all. Can anyone remember it?
How can a statesman ever live it down, after failing to keep it down.
Oh the shame.
This interests me, primarily, for the Japanese word...but what a shocker.
1992...2005...has anything changed...not really.
old siam
* The Siamese not only avoid stepping over people, but also over books
* The length of time expressed by sak kru (usually translated as immediately), means in fact, as long as it takes to boil a pot of rice
* The Siamese sew seven buttons on their jackets and five on a shorter one. For children three is the norm.
* A staircase must not have four steps, but two, three and six are allowed
* In divorce the children born with odd numbers go to the mother, the even numbered ones to the father
* During a marriage ceremony the thumbs of the newlywed are tied together with the bonds of love
* Most siamese flowers are only fragrant in the morning, when they are open, or in the evening, but not in the middle of the day.
* The Siamese eat the lamphong fruit to get up Dutch courage, in the process becoming slightly mad in the head and very excitable, babbling confused sentences for the slightest reason
* The Siamese like to give their children hideous names to make them unattractive to the demons, thus protecting them
* Admiring a cute little child would make it ill, and so its parents hang a dog's or pig's tooth around its neck to blemish the child's pretty appearance
* A Siamese shakes his head to deny something. He waves with his hand bent downwards.
* If one asks him whether he does not deny something, he nods approvingly that he does not do so
* Instead of kissing, the Siamese press their faces together and breath in
* During an eclipse of the moon, the Siamese make a great din to prevent it from being eaten up
* The Siamese call the rainbow "luster that eats water" and meteors "demons throwing torches"

Precints, Canterbury.
A wild wet wind is whirling hither and tither all the yellow leaves of the limes, and we can see the great Church from end to end through the 'ruined choirs'.
