11. Originally, yes
It was a Japanese cartoon that they took, re-edited and re-dubbed for western audiences.

12. A photo I took in Colorado on vacation this summer:


This is Lake Dillion, out by Silverthorne and Breckinridge. I really had to work to get a shot that didn't have I-70 in it--it's right behind the island the boat is sailing past.

40. Easy. Follow these steps
1) Open up a free account at www.photobucket.com

2) Using the print screen key on your keyboard, snap a screenshot of your desktop. This places it in your clipboard in Windows.

3) Using a photo manipulation program like Photoshop, Ulead or Irfan, you can place what is on your clipboard into the program. Save the shot.

4) Upload the shot to photobucket. Photobucket automatically generates the HTML code you need; the third set of code is the one you need for forums usually.

5) Cut and paste code into message and voilá.

Were you there? My H and I are trying to figure out a way to go to Peru sometime in the next few years (before we're too old to enjoy it). The South American mountains are so amazing looking.

54. My parents immigrated to the U.S. from Ecaudor
I've been to the country many times, been on and around Chimborazo on maybe five occasions. Yes, the Andes are lovely, and in Ecuador the mountains are isolated - further south they start to blend into a cordillera.

My next desktop is probably Huascaran, Peru:
