...world's game, basketball remains a distant second to soccer, which has fans in almost every country, totaling more than 1.25 billion. But there's no denying that basketball's appeal is on the rise, especially among younger, urban and middle-class fans. Like soccer, basketball is a relatively cheap game and easy to start playing. It requires only a ball and a makeshift hoop hung on a tree or the side of a house.

For instance, if an "opium pipe" has a bowl made from wood or resin or anything else that's flammable, chances are it's a very cheap fake. Also, most pipes made of bone are reproductions, as animal bone was considered unsuitable for pipes...
...bomb,” J.K. Costello ’03 extols in an e-mail. “After narrowly missing out on a queen size bed for $25, I found an Ikea queen-size bed a day later for $120. All the prices were so cheap, and I met a super-sweet girl in a punk band as a result,” he writes. Other students have used the site to find summer housing or simply to buy and sell items ranging from coffee tables to laptops...
