South Tyrol is a part of Northern Italy, but the people there are mostly talking German, and would like to become Austrians again. (In exchange for Vienna.

Tea does not have to contain tea; it is a process. Like the "tea" my grandfather made from nicotine to kill bugs.
And Bette Nesmith (Graham) invented Liquid Paper. Her some was Mikle Nesmith of the Monkeys.
Lots of amazing women inventors.
I'm afraid not, Bob. If it contains no tea leaves, it is by strict definition, not tea, but an infusion. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea
Besides whatever definition you chose, the fact remains that herbal tea contains no tea leaves, which was the point of my post.

The worlds oldest piece of chewing gum is 9000 years old.
Right handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (I knew there has to be an advantage being right handed.)
If you are ambidextrous you aren't in your right mind or your wrong (left) mind, therefore you must be out of your mind, at least that's what I'm always being told

CRT TVs use less power than a flat screen, Why? Because CRTs are better! A mate told me her electric bill was $25 more when she got the flat screen

I'd suggest it might be another reason, CRT's are not energy efficient, check this chart out.......

There is some truth in your statement but it's a kind of misconceived truth. Like for like CRT is much less energy efficient so a 28" LCD will be more energy efficient than a 28" CRT however, what generally happens is that when folks go from CRT to LCD they increase the size of the screen and at some point a the increase in screen size will outweigh the energy saving. So if you had a 28" CRT and now have a 50" LCD then it's quite possible the LCD will use more energy but that's not really a "like for like" comparison.
