I attended a game on Saturday where Justin Verlander threw a no-hitter. It was the 271st in history. My question is how many games have been played in history? What is the total number of regular season and playoff games since mlb began 140 years ago?

What can or should be done to guarantee that intellectual property rights are enforced? It is a criminal act to shoplift a cd or dvd, why isn't it a criminal act to download the same dvd or cd without paying for it?

In the past the best and the brightest have traditionally run to the US for greater reward and freedom. Where will they run in the future if our country continues on it's current path?

After 15 years GnR has finally released the much hyped Chinese Democracy. Has Axl Rose evolved musically, or has he just lost the ability to write rock songs with an FU attitude?

I am a Canadian who wants to rent a car and drive through Europe. Is this possible? Are there any restrictions that might prevent me from renting a car in England, and then driving it all over Europe? Any answers will be appreciated.

I am single and want to take a cool adventure type trip, avoiding most of the tourist traps. I have checked out Couch Surfing and also did a Rideshare thing from Toronto to Texas and back. Can anyone suggest any other ways to travel cheap and meet the locals? I'd like to mountain bike and hike and sail, meet people and have adventures in exotic locales...and just need some ideas for a starting point. I have no time constraints. I just need to get away from the same old of my job city country etc

Why can't we just resolve the domestic auto industry problems by introducing prohibitive tariffs on Asian imports? If we are going to keep our domestic industry alive aren't tariffs a little more honest than government intervention? At least it would give the appearance that the big 3 aren't charity cases. It is one or the other isn't it? The only other option seems to be admitting that foreign automakers are far superior in most every respect and let the free market do it's work....but that would probably result in the closure of one or all three US automakers. What is the solution?

Will there be any posthumous work released after JD Salinger's death?

And if there is, will it be good or even relevant to the modern world?
