Japan has a plunging birth rate? How ironic when you think of their effect on the whale, dolphin, tuna, tiger, bear and all manner of other wildlife population on the planet? If I believed in such nonsense I would ask if nature was getting its own back on the Japanese. But the truth is the same problem of native population decline in first world countries can be seen in many countries in Europe, for instance Italy.

Oh wait! Aren't the Italians helping to wipe out tuna stocks also, I do believe they are. Nature will find a way to even out the score, that is find its own balance.

Let us welcome humanely plunging birth rates... as long as they don't plunge too far...

Why aren't there right-handed watches for left-handed people?

Then you'd be wanting left-footed watches for right-footed lesbian sex change fashion designers. That's why we are restricted to analogue and digital.

Left-handed watches worn on the right hand must be awkward to wind (if that's even done anymore) or set. Have to take them off I rectum.

You Americans! Since when did taking a watch off to wind it up become such a chore! :sqlaugh:

Oh the labor!
