Landmark decision
Roe v. Wade prohibits state governments from legislating against abortion, so it's legal across the United States. The thing is though Puerto Rico isn't a state. It's a commonwealth territory, so it has a little more autonomy.

Bad hair day
Most of the higher mammals can get influenza.
Even birds can get it, and they're not even mammals.
There have been some suspected cases here,
but no confirmed cases so far.
Fingers crossed!

WWIII
The Europeans have a long and honourable tradition of hating each other. Take a look at European history some time - it's like the Warring States period of Chinese history, but lasting two thousand years rather than just a few hundred. It was the competition between the European nations which made European imperialism so aggressive and devastating in the 19th century and led to two world wars in the 20th century. World Wars I and II were nothing more than European civil wars amplified onto a global scale by European imperialism.

Made-in-China
"Great prices, terrible quality"...lol.
It's catchy, but it doesn't exactly attract customers.
Well, there have been numerous recalls already.

Gives a start
Michael has translated about a third of it so far.
I reckon he has to keep stopping and starting it and scribbling down what the German-type person has said, so it's taking some time. Anyway, he should have it finished before the end of today.
I believe him.

Lax gun law
You can legally carry a handgun out in the open without a license.There's only 3 US states where that's allowed -- New Hampshire, Vermont and Montana.
Well, I think people're actually safer around an armed population because criminals usually always have guns and honest citizens having guns too means they can defend themselves and defend
you.

Federal welfare
It is the monetary assistance the US federal government gives to people who don't work. The government pays for their housing,
food and healthcare, and gives them some money for other things.
It's supposed to be for people who can't find work and need it, but
it ultimately ends up paying for people who don't wanna work.

Tis nigh
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Material World
Children are expensive to have, especially because healthcare and college aren't necessarily free like in most other Western countries. The birth rate is something like 2.2 per woman on average (various by class, race, etc.).

Faberge eggs are famous. True pieces of art, I think.
They are all over a million dollars though. I love them.

St. Mary's Episcopal Church
"We will give most of them to the church for the Easter egg hunt, about one dozen we will keep for our children. I make egg salad for sandwiches for about two weeks after Easter. the boiled eggs stay
good in the shell for about one week. the egg salad stays good in the refrigerator for about another week." Humm, eggs cost about one dollar (plus sales taxes) per dozen, so why not splurge and buy
extras.

Spanish Inquisition
The 'test' involves him in a chair surrounded by engineering professors asking him questions about chemistry, calculus,
and physics.Whether he can go back to school at this point in his
life totally depends upon how well he does for these professors.
Good Luck, Huck.

Eggstravaganza
When two friends met on Easter Day, they would tap their eggs together and one would say, "Christ is risen!" And then the other would reply, "Christ is risen indeed!" They would then eat the
eggs together. ...OMG! You bastards, you killed Baby Jesus!

No Clambing

Although you may be interested to know that there's an English word 'clambering', which means a particular kind of climbing, in which you cling tightly to whatever
you are climbing and move quickly. It's usually used to describe the way in which children climb. BTW, it should read 'No sculpting or drawing'.

John Adams
Beginning is good then it becomes rather boring and depressing.
Much too deferential to these historical figures, some were turned
into borderline mythological figures, especially with regards to
George Washington.
