On another morbid tangent, here's a early morning thought...
Maybe you know about the motif of harmful sensation, you've heard the story of Medusa right? She had a stare that could turn any living creature into stone so you couldn't look at her with your naked eye. Or the lesser known myth about "knot" buttons. In a bit of digression, chinese court clothing had these elaborate buttons they would make by knotting a single chord into intricate shapes. Hence you may of heard of frog buttons. Well the myth goes that there was a knot button so elaborate that if the button maker would make it he would go blind. Too many people were going blind so the Emperor forbade anyone from using this knot.
And on to the main thought...
Do you think there is a capoeira move so deadly and dangerous that if anyone were to perform this move everyone around the user would die but consequently the user would have all his limbs rendered useless?
And if this move does exist would I be able to learn it? Or because of it's deadliness for everyone involved Mester Bimba the founder of modern capoeira had this move suppressed?

What he said.
Also, bearing in mind how much trust financial analysts have earned over the past few years, this is probably still a little worrisome:
The consumer debt bomb is already beginning to spray shrapnel throughout the financial markets, further weakening the U.S. economy. "The next meltdown will be in credit cards," says Gregory Larkin, senior analyst at research firm Innovest Strategic Value Advisors. Adds William Black, senior vice-president of Moody's Investors Service's structured finance team: "We still haven't hit the post-recessionary peaks [in credit-card losses], so things will get worse before they get better."

I think that's their potential record for the remaining games. The Rangers, as an example, have played 8 games, and show 74 left in the table.

Why does the chart only go to 78 games? Are they playing a short schedule this year?
