Are those BT fones?

Had they been WEco 2500-based sheep, I would have been happy for the remainder of my days.

.ar is Argentina, if I'm not mistaken. If I'm correct on that assumption, it may be fair to assume that Spanish is the common language of Argentina. So, if A and B are true, it may be logical to assume an Argentinian would write a webpage in her native tongue, being more familiar in the vernacular of that area.


Sorry, I was just helping someone prepare legal proofs in preparation of his LSAT, so I'm in lawyer dick mode.

.ar meaning Argentina does not make it fair to assume the language of the country. Nowhere in .ar or Argentina is "Spanish is the main language" inherent. It may be true, but that fact cannot be derived from the name of the country. What is the official language of Pakistan, without looking it up?

Pakistan?  I dunno, Farsi?  There's prob'ly 2 or 3 more.  I think you stumped everybody frog.

In Argentina they say their ll's like j's: Jevo mis Javes.  There's a liitle Portguese spoken on the east side innit?

So this is where all the rotary phones go when they die.

This lady named Louisa Bufardeci does embroidering based on recorded telephone conversation waveforms.  Here's some text from her site:

Warrantless, wireless, telephone tapping – how does it affect the home-sweet-homeliness of the domestic space? 13 captured telephone conversations - all one minute long captures the sense of paranoia generated by the idea that anyone could be listening in, anytime. These particular thirteen conversations are sourced from a mixture of conversations history known to have been tapped, conversations from my private home, and conversations between abstract people.

And here's an image, if her site lets me hotlink:

Nope, it is Arkansas.

Unless you actually had social science in elementary school.
