Stephen Hawking couldn't figure out many of the moderating decisions on this board. Best not to dwell on it.

Great Jewish Athletes (I can only think of one: Mark Spitz...).

Surface transport from Xiamen to Bangkok? That would be quite a trip.

No...I'm in Bangkok. I guess I missed the part about Dr. Sottee being in Chiang Mai. If anyone has any good recommendations for Bangkok, I'd love to hear them. I've been seeing a chiropractor with mixed results, and popping pain pills like jelly beans.

I have been to Xiamen several times. 4-5 days is going to be waaay too long, as there really isn't much to do or see there. Definitely do not go for the beaches!

Can you please pass along the contact details of Dr. Sottee (Sutthee?). I am currently suffering the misery of sciatica.

My Bangkok Bank ATM card has a daily withdrawal limit of 100,000 baht. Most machines will dispense 20,000 baht at a time, unless they are out of 1,000 notes (in which case they will dispense only 10,000 baht a time).

Thais use it extensively for pickling.

In Cambodia, it could very well be.

I thought Singha Gold was their lower-alcohol content Singha.

I've only had two minor accidents -- both of which were my fault. My insurance covered them.

Yes, silly as it may be, they are illegal here. Don't worry, though: they only arrest vendors, not individual users.

It was supposed to be predicting the verdict.

There are still losers participating in the poll -- all "he walks" at this point.

Probably just more caffeine than is allowed by law; not sure, though.

Yeah, but he's now dead as a doornail.
