The reader must interpret the abbreviated words depending on the context in which it is used, as there are many examples of words or phrases that use the same abbreviations (e.g., lol could mean laugh out loud or lots of love, and cryn could mean crayon or cryin(g)). So if someone says ttyl, lol they probably mean talk to you later, lots of love not talk to you later, laugh out loud, and if someone says omg, lol they probably mean oh my god, laugh out loud not oh my god, lots of love. “onw” means “oh no way!” nothing else.

At the heart of the dispute lies the question of who qualifies to be registered to participate in the referendum, and, since about 2000, Morocco considers that since there is no agreement on persons entitled to vote, a referendum is not possible,meanwhile Polisario still attached with insistence to the referendum with independence as a clear option, without trying to give a solution to the problem of who is qualified to be registered to participate in the referendum.

Warhol’s claim can not, of course, be taken literally. Given a world population of 7 billion it would take 200,000 years for each person currently living to have 15 minutes to themselves. Even if the assumption is made that every 15 minutes 200 people become famous, it would still take 1,000 years for each person currently alive to have their 15 minutes of fame.

Michael Graham explains that although “expressing support for values like individual responsibility, personal liberty, and economic freedom” was once very common and not seen as being radical, today these actions makes one become part of an “extremist rabble”. Despite America’s long history in questioning authority through rallies and marches, in the modern era, specifically during Barack Obama’s time in office, one’s “loyalty…decency, [and] sanity” can become questioned through the same actions. Instead of being a revolutionary, one merely becomes part of an “angry mob”.^[2] Although “the Obama elites and media sycophants often complain about the ‘angry mob’”, it is rare that the motivations behind the opposition are looked into and analyzed. ^[3] After Republican Scott Brown won office, columnist Charles Krauthammer described the mindset of what he viewed as angry mob voters: “[they have an] inchoate, unthinkable lashing-out at whoever happens to be in power - even at your liberal betters who are forcing on you an agenda that you can’t see is in your own interest”.^[4]

The major stereotype surrounding angry mobs involves a farmer wielding a pitchfork.

According to the Futurama episode “Space Pilot 3000”, Stop ‘N Drop suicide booths are claimed to have been “America’s Favorite” since 2008. Whether this is the use of an advertising hyperbole to indicate that they were introduced in 2008, or that they gained a plurality of market share in 2008 is not concluded.

1968 - The Image of the Beast Philip José Farmer Joan of Arc is portrayed as an alien sexual predator, still alive in the 20th century but with her body altered to enable the also-alien 15th-century serial killer Gilles de Rais to live within her vagina dentata as a fang-toothed venomous snake that bites and paralyses men during intercourse.

There are endless ways to restate the problem without the dollar disappearing, truthfully these are corrections and not solutions. The true solution lies in the pneumonic Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally used to recall the “Order of Operations” rules of Parenthesis, Exponents, Mulitiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. In the statement paraphrased as they each receive a dollar back so they only paid $9 each followed by three times nine is twenty-seven the order is violated (subtraction before multiplication) this causes any further calculation to be skewed by incorrect numbers being used. Explanations of how to state the problem without the missing dollar are merely corrections of the order of operations leading to what seems to be an explanation.

In a sure display of the demand for the toy, some sellers at scammed people out of a great sum of money, without even having first given them a Furby. Parental battles, arguments, and fights increased rapidly as supplies dwindled, and when retail supplies ran out, parents turned to the Internet, where Furbies could be purchased for two, three, or more multiples of their retail price.

The crew of Gemini III sneaked a corned beef sandwich on their spaceflight. Mission Commander Gus Grissom loved corned beef sandwiches, so Pilot John Young brought one along, having been encouraged by fellow astronaut Walter Schirra. However, Young was supposed to only eat approved food, and Grissom wasn’t supposed to eat anything. Floating pieces of bread posed a potential problem, causing Grissom to put the sandwich away (although he did enjoy it)^[4] and the astronauts were mildly rebuked by NASA for the act.

The community, according to the legend, really wanted to call itself “Bath” after the famous spa in England. The local man chosen to carry the parish’s request to Hartford had a somewhat eccentric manner of dress, however, and when he appeared before the Legislature he was dressed in loud, parti-colored homespun so odd as to bring to the mind of one amused legislator the query of Isaiah: 63, I: “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?” Overcome by the humorous appropriateness of this verse, the Assembly decided to name the town “Bozrah” when it incorporated the place.
