Wait I'm confused why is someone in Korea older than their real age? Why do they add another year for nothing?

So glad liverpool are in the Europa league, I hope they go far, if Arsenal have any chance of making top four we are going to need all the help we can get.

Hasnt lewandowski scored 9 goals and made 5 assists in 21 games? I mean that really not a bad return?

Man I really love the feeling of success after a period of hard work

I'm just going to wiki

Koreans generally refer to their age in units called sal (살), using Korean numerals in ordinal form. Thus, a person is one sal ("han sal", 한살) during the first calendar year of life, and ten sal during the tenth calendar year.[12]
The 100th-day anniversary of a baby is called baegil (백일), which literally means "a hundred days" in Korean, and is given a special celebration, marking the survival of what was once a period of high infant mortality. The first anniversary of birth named dol (돌) is likewise celebrated, and given even greater significance. Koreans celebrate their birthdays,[13] even though every Korean gains one 'sal' on New Year's Day.[14] Because the first year comes at birth and the second on the first day of the lunar New Year, a child born, for example, on December 29 (of the lunar calendar) will reach two years of age on Seollal (Korean New Year), when they are only days old in western reckoning.[15]


That shit is confusing as fuck

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_age_reckoning

Basically you are one year old as soon as you are born. Everyone adds a year on new years day. Some do it based on January 1st others based on Lunar new year. Everyone

So I was born turn 87 and so now I am 28 Korean age and will turn 29 on January 1st/ lunar new years.

things such as drinking and smoking is based on Western age.

Oh my God, those leaked sony emails. Sony security. :bow

Looking over Mosko's leaked emails, we saw an interesting exchange related to Sony's "Community" series which aired on NBC.

The show was originally canceled May 9 after five seasons on air.

Three days later, the show's star, Joel McHale, sent an email to Mosko's assistant asking for a discount on an $8,000 Sony TV.

The email reads:

Hello Fayanne,

It's Joel McHale. You might remember me from such canceled Sony tv shows as—Community.

Sad.

Very sad.

So when I was talking to Steve about the show ending last Friday, I asked about a discount on a Sony tv. He said of course. He's the greatest as you know. I didn't want to bother him with the specific details of the screen I want so I thought I would bother you. I hope that is it [sic] cool.

It's below. You can check with Steve obviously if this all sounds strange.

I'm not sure how this all works but I'm happy to send a credit card number wherever necessary.

Thanks Fayanne. I'm very much going to miss working at Sony.

Cheers

Joel

The TV McHale asked for is a 65" X950B 4K Ultra HD which retails for $7999.99.

After receiving McHale's email, Mosko requested the television to be purchased for the actor:

"how much is it? just get it...put it against community deal w money later"

The television ended up being on sale at the time for $6,000.

I love reading the lyrical commentary and explanation on rap genius.

Currently reading up on "Notorious Thugs".

The air is more CO2 than O2 from all the weed they’re blazing up in an enclosed space.

If Sterling turns down the contract that's the beginning of the end for Liverpool football club. There is literally nothing we can do to ever be competitive again. It's over. It's all over.

It was an interview about how hard it is to find quality loans in January. He said you're looking at injured players who need match fitness then "...if Manchester want us to take Falcao for six months, we'll take him."

Such a bid.

Raheem wants more than 70k per week?
Click to expand...

Make an OT thread and watch the econ postgrads claw each other's bowels to shreds about rational actors and shit.

I dunno what kind of bump above 70 Raheem wants or can reasonably expect Liverpool to offer. Does he want parity with Stevie ?

Maybe he'll feel Henry Winter's disapproval and call it off.
