  How do I turn off +body in MS Word?

  3 0 Although it may too late for your purposes, I swear by a little application called "PureText", which allows you to create a keyboard shortcut that pastes unformatted text into any document or form. Which is to say, the pasted text will inherit all formatting that is active at your paste-point. PureText can be downloaded from here: http://www.stevemiller.net/apps/ Abracadabra!

  0 0 But seriously, I couldn't find anything specific to Kobe beef, but a 1995 policy directive by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment states: "... after animals are rendered unconscious, either the heart or lung function is halted, using methods that to the extent that it is possible avoid causing suffering, or have been accepted by society as the 'normal methods'." (my translation) Kinda vague, but there it is... ShrewdLou commented 8 months ago

  How are Kobe Beef Cattle slaughtered?

  8 0 The bovine is bathed, dressed in ceremonial white robes, and is fed its favorite meal of beer and skittles. It then prepares for death by writing a death poem. With its selected attendant (kaishakunin, "second") standing by, the bovine takes up its tantō (knife) or wakizashi (short sword) wrapped in paper so not to sever its hoof or lose its decidedly tenacious grip and plunges it into its abomasum, making a left-to-right cut. The kaishakunin then performs the Moo de grâce. ShrewdLou answered in Meat 8 months ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »
