They have a legally defined 35 hr work week like the US has set it at 40 hrs. Overtime is legal, it just happens more quickly and is tightly regulated.I'm not an expert about this... repeating what I read about france... either way, their "unemployment" figures are not based on similar US stats. Also, I suspect you're right, expecially when you say "tightly regulated", though I suspect "very" may have to be added.
Sigh... time to go... I'll be back for some more schedenfreude later on, but will look into DUh before I return...

The Iraqi version of Pink Floyd, maybe? Almost sounds like that elevator sound on Wish You Were Here.I guess we'll know for sure if we see a giant pig float by.

I think it sounds like that noise they played in "Hunt for the Red October". The propulsion for a russian made submarine.

"In fact, it sounds as dry and unappetizing as a Freshman-level English class...."
I was in the kitchen sweeping when your joke dawned on me. My daughter looked at me like I was crazy when I started laughing for no apparent reason.
To: Anomaly in Illinois
Nope.
Passover (mid-April usually, in our calendar) about 2000-odd years was so cold they lit fires in the courtyard while the press and politcians had a news conference inside about a Roman "rebel" being persecuted under false pretences.
Guess nothing changes.
