I have to give a powerpoint presentation in 30 minutes. My slides suck don't really know how to use the device...my fault' date=' didn't practice...all I have going for me is a few anecdotes, 3 statistics, 2.5 factoids, and some good advice...and a picture of a broken piggybank.[/quote']

How did it go?

Okay' date=' I'll bite: What does "Stopper in third" mean? :)[/quote']Someone with good enough guard to ensure a draw in the middle of the team match. There are five kendoka in a team, with the taisho, or captain, traditionally in position five and the team's strongest in position four. If the two first bouts are losses, a stopper tries to to ensure a draw so that the final two has a chance of at least making the match a tie. And since we seem to be one man short, we start off with a walkover loss and the position becomes even more critical.

 

I'm not one for strategy, so I'm happily leaving that to our two national team ladies who will most probably take positions four and five. And then there's our energetical Korean to start off on position one or two ...

Is anyone really that surprised that Andre Agassi did crystal meth?

He deliberately also lost the 1996 Australian Open semi-final to avoid playing Boris Becker in the final. Boris blew kisses at his former wife Brooke Shields and Agassi held a grudge.
