rock 'n' roll
also rock, rock and roll n
a style of music that was popular esp. in
the 1950s, which has a strong loud beat and
is usu. played on electrical instruments and
repeats a few simple phrases


Rather sums it up, doesn't it? ^^ It's from an electronic handheld Lorman's dictionary, a rarity in its own right.



Top humanitarian assistance contributors to the tsunami victims in USD (only counting official bodies):
Japan (30,000,000)
Australia (29,400,000)
United States (19,000,000)
Saudi Arabia (10,000,000)
Vatican (6,000,000)

Surprising results, to me at least.
