NO MEANS YES AND YES MEANS NO
Worldwide, the symbol for no is to turn your head from left to right to left. The universal symbol for yes is to nod your head up and down. This is so ingrained in our systems that it seems like we're born with it. I personally never remember being taught to nod my head, nor have I ever heard of anyone teaching it.
So it seems a bit odd to consider that there are exceptions in the world. The most extreme is Bulgaria, where people nod their head no and turn their head yes. Some areas of Greece and Italy also go against convention. There people say no by tossing their head back and clucking their tongue. Finally, who can forget the Eskimos who nod yes, but wink no?
Primus before Primus. their prime incarnation had
two drummers
live. possibly the tightest alternative band to not end up on a major.
the brothers looked typically nerdy canadian and i'm sure were up there in age,
but they rocked live. _Wrong_ is a stunner. - @Om*

cracked. no missiles rained from the sky. this was no sneak attack. there
was just suddenly this awful lack. things had changed, that's for sure.
the day everything became nothing, you couldn't put your finger on what
had gone wrong. the alleys were still dirty; the garbage still smelled;
there was no panic in the streets; just a lot of grief--in people's faces,
in their eyes--a mixture of horror and total surprise. this was no apocalypse.
no one heard a voice from the sky, there were no miracles at the 7-eleven,
no one screamed, no one even asked why. it was just like everything had
somehow, quietly died. so let it die! i can't recall much of what happened
next. i was on my way to visit this woman i knew. all we had in common
was good sex, and now i couldn't even remember her address. a group of
us, just strangers, got together and we formed a committee to discuss the
problem. we talked about things like assured mutual destruction and emotional
responsibility. i couldn't remember my name, so i called myself bob. it's
weird being a bob, but i'll get used to it. i have to.

MP3dreaming,
he kept dreaming of the day they'd realize what he was feeling only so
many songs can be sung with two lips, two lungs and one tonguelight
and the hope in your eyes as they shine on me tie up my hands with your
chains they are bound to set me free i'm singing, i'm singing and to that
i'm clinging the words that i say only drag me away and i said, pray to
me, pray to me all the love you see, it comes from me i said, pray to me,
pray to me all the love you see, it belongs to me i said, i see, i see
i said, pray to me, pray to me---but it was all lies . . . lies are the
hopes and the chains that have dragged me here to you all of these hopes
and these chains i will gladly share with you it's raining, it's pouring
the old man is snoring it's raining, it's pouring and i'm falling, i'm
falling and he said, pray to me, pray to me all the love you see, it comes
from me he said, pray to me, pray to me all the love you see, it belongs
to me he said, i see, i see he said, pray to me, pray to me---but it was
all lies . . .
