Sake does mean salmon AND it means liquor (depends on the character used to write it). They are homonyms (sort of). There are over 3000 possible syllabeles in English but only 101 syllabeles in Japanese. This means Japanese has a monster load of homonyms, it is a serious pain in the ass for those of us trying to learn the language. Sake does NOT mean "rice wine" sake is just the Japanese word for general alcohol/liquor. If you want to say "rice wine" you should say "Nihon-shu" (means literally "Japanese liquor") That concludes today's Japanese lesson (my Japanese teacher would laugh her ass off if she knew "I" was trying to teach Japanese  ).OH YEAH.... Cool plane!!!

Raw seafood? Why not put two slugs in a revolver, spin the cylinder and suck the barrel.
 People...there is absolutely nothing on the menu you can eat that's more dangerous than raw seafood!

A finding published in The New England Journal of Medicine said the outbreak of salmonella that affected more than 200,000 was traced to a nationally distributed ice-cream made in Minnesota. It was the largest case of poisoning from a single food source in the United States.
