Joe,

I wasn’t sure what “NSFW” meant either (I’m over 50), so I looked it up using Acronymfinder.com. It means, “Not Safe For Work”. I guess it’s a warning given so people can avoid getting fired for looking at inappropriate spreads.

The official name of the country in the Burmese language, Myanma, was never changed. Within the Burmese language, Myanma is the written, literary name of the country, while Bama or Bamar (from which “Burma” derives) is the oral, colloquial name. In spoken Burmese, the distinction is less clear than the English transliteration suggests.

You know, it felt pretty much the same way a few years back when I got my new National Geographic map of the world and could not find a trace of Tibet.

I think you forgot the best part of the Huntsville story:

“Many cities advise residents to stay at home and seal up a room with plastic and duct tape during a biological, chemical or nuclear attack.”

Additional instructions should read: “And kiss your — goodbye!”
