How to say bachelor party in "other languages":

Quoted: A bachelor party (United States, South Africa)—also known as a stag party, stag night, or stag do (UK, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand); bull's party (South Africa); or buck's party or buck's night (Australia)—is a party held for a bachelor shortly before he enters marriage, to make the most of his final opportunity to engage in activities a new partner might not approve of, or merely to spend time with his friends (often in his wedding party afterwards).

"The NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) plans to limit internet access on the laptops given to NSW's senior students under the 'digital education revolution' to a pre-approved list of websites...

"Catch the opening of the first Apple Retail Store in Australia on 19 June, at 5:00 p.m. Be among the first to experience three bustling, glass-enclosed floors of everything Apple. We’ll be giving away limited-edition T-shirts to the first 2,500 customers... Come early and be among the first in Australia to experience the Apple Retail Store, Sydney — located on George Street in the heart of downtown."

A t-shirt? Come on, you can do better than that Apple... oh, maybe not after the iPhone margins were slashed :)

Quoted: The U.S. Men's Senior National Team went a perfect 5-0 in their exhibition schedule on their way to Beijing. But the last two games, an 89-68 win over Russia and an 87-76 win over Australia, were far from perfect performances.

These are the best songs of all time at the Olympics.
