Nothing in the english language rhymes with orange, although "door hinge" is close :)

Was the color Orange called Orange because of Oranges, or were Oranges called Oranges because of the color Orange?
The color is named after the fruit. text

Album News
Whilst no official announcements have been made - we hear that the new P J Harvey album can be expected this summer. Our sources also tell us that the album was written, performed and produced by Polly with Head & Polly recording & mixing it. Rob Ellis, a long-time collaborator of Polly's, played drums & percussion on the record. No news yet on an album title but we have managed get information on some of the track titles which include Who The F***?, Shame, The Life And Death of Mr. Badmouth, The Letter and The Pocket Knife amongst others.
We've been told to expect more news shortly, so check back regularly for updates over the coming weeks.

Sh!t man, I had my doubts but you are better than Google!!! I looked all over goggle for the last few months and any/all info bout a 'New' album was archived from her last CD 3 years ago.

Also, would you mind giving with the link where you got this info? Or would that lessen your aura of greatness??

you want a right answer or my own opinion? from google news it seems like he's in favor of it. But politics can be difficult because he has to actually pass something, get it through the other branches of government.
like I said, the best way to find out is to ask the P&N guys which I've done for you.

Sorry, I was actually referring to United States Paper Money only, not any coins....

$233,750.00 for a legal tender $500 from 1862 set in fall of 1997

Thanks for the effort, 5. But I don't think this is right. I heard that a note brought almost $1,000,000 at auction for a 'watermelon' note; whatever that is.......??

actually there's a "grand watermelon" note that's valued at a million but I don't think it was realized at a million. But here's a new record for of $517,000
The major highlight of the sale was a Friedberg #1166b $20 Gold Certificate in VF/XF that realized $528,000. The note is believed to be one of only two known and it was justifiably catalogued as a ?classic American treasure.? Virtually equal in rarity and price was a Fr. #183c $500 ?Gallatin? note in Choice CU that sold for $517,000. This price was more than double the previous record for a note of this type, with the old record set in 1997 at $233,750. Not far behind was a magnificent Fr. #213 $10 Refunding Certificate in Choice AU. The note, the only specimen in private hands, fell under the hammer at $429,000.

fs5, should I try to find a job in Gainesville and stay here over the summer in a subleased apt or move home with my parents in Long Island, NY and try to find a job there?

Gainesville:
+ not living with parents, friends nearby, don't have to move far
- have to pay all living expense

NY:
+ free rent, food
- know nobody there, hard to find a job, traffic sucks

still looking... if I had to guess, I would take whoever is publishing the LOTR series as the highest this year. Second would be the publisher of Harry potter books.

If I had a tape of Kobe Bryant's room the night of the alleged rape,
how much you think it could be worth $1 Mill, 50 Mill or more?
Would it be worth more if it finds him guilty or innocent?
