#3 A quayside is the land next to a quay. And in anticipation of your next question, a synonym for quay would be dock. Someplace to unload a boat.

#5 These folks are real rocket scientists (read: vote for Gore). "A theft like this one happens frequently on the quays." Yep, noooooooo problem. That is until it is used to kill hundreds of innocent people. And that they "are not subject to any particular security measures" is simply an amazing statement. I am a loss for words.

#8 Yes, .com, then the thieves will have overthrown Chirac, who will immediately surrender to them.

#9 Dragon Fly -- And it's pronounced "key", not "kway", like you'd think. Do not go to Sydney and ask directions to Circular Kway.
