No. It depends of the milk, of course, but let's say there is an important deviation, which has been estimated between 2 and 5 drops. Of course, only an anglosaxon can understand the implications of this serious dairy problem.

Yes, we Europeans are a mess (but, BTW, at least our cows are not so f***ed up).

Two cows in a field. One cow says to the other; "Does this mad cow disease worry you?
The second cow replies; "I couldn't give a fuck...I'm a Parrot!"

There's one roundabout (that I know of) in Montreal, called the Dorval circle. I think it was constructed at a time when there wasn't a lot of traffic to control so today it is a nightmare to use (according to my mom, who is from Montreal). But there are none in Toronto and I don't think there are very many in North America at all.

My mom's friend is married to an Italian man and they went to Naples and then Florence a few years ago when her daughter was a baby. She said that no stores sold any kind of carseats and that her husband kept asking people if they had some kind of child seat they could use. They finally found on that she says was probably 30 years old lol. Apparently seatbelts are rarely used there either. The cars have them but people don't use them, so I'm assuming that people just hold on for dear life to their babies when they drive on the highway/motorway!!

That's why you should know the metric system. Once again, we can see the importance of it. Pay attention:



You see?

I live very near a town nicknamed polomint city, you basically come off a roundabout and then go on one
