vv @MacGuffin: Glad I'm not the only one!
"All Quiet On The Western Front" = from the German perspective, eh? In WW1 the battle in France (and the Lowland countries) was in the "west". It`s the best (and ONLY) excuse I can come up with!

Japanese on the WEST coast (of the USA) and Germans on the EAST coast (of the USA)...
It wasn't a mistake... I... I meant it from the perspective of the Japanese and Germans! Yeah, that`s the ticket!
Strangely enough, I made that same mistake yesterday too. I said something about Gerry being "from the east coast". I knew fine well he lived in California which is of course on the west coast, because he`s mentioned it a few times, and I was thinking "west" as a I typed it, but it still came out "east". It was actually in my head first thing when I woke up this morning.

That server never even knew what hit it. That's possibly why Damn Interesting never became a really popular site, despite having some good content: they don`t have the infrastructure to cope with even a modest influx of visitors.
