I was about to request this thread to be closed due to it's lack of connection to language learning, when low and behold, there it is! Learn Aramaic in two months! By all means, keep this thread open, and close the real language learning threads where people use naughty words. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't know whether you are a physician but do you hold yourself in such a position of authority as to confidently say what supplements people should or should not take, based on inconclusive research?

I don't know about cell phones, but I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of studies to prove that smoking is harmless. Certainly second-hand smoke won't hurt anyone. It's difficult to imagine that anyone would take a position or produce a study that was not entirely unbiased.

Talking about the "real Richard Burton".....
...if you mean the one who knocked about a bit with Elizabeth Taylor, well, he made an interesting documentary about Dylan Thomas: Richard Burton on Dylan Thomas 1 part 2 part 3 ...and he was also a Welsh speaker, something that Dylan Thomas was not, but Thomas was still a hero for Burton. And Burton is a bir of a hero for me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

My guess is that the user named himself after another Richard Burton, who's my least favorite polyglot, because he had a tendency for grandstanding and loved to hyper-sexualize otherwise pretty normal stories in his translations. He also every then and now and then invented stories, for example, in his edition of the translation of the Arabian Nights, he added the story "How Abu Hasan Brake Wind" after the 410th night. This story doesn't exist in the original. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you. Wouldn't it be terrible if this thread broke into a language related discussion? How lo can you go? 1 person has voted this message useful |
