On The Upside, Amanda Knox Is Going To Ace Her Italian Classes

Can you imagine spending four years in a prison where nobody speaks English?

(other than in California, I mean)

1. I'll bet she doesn't ever want to hear a single word of Italian again.

6. My grandfather was a POW in Italy in WW II.
To the day he died, he'd not eat spaghetti or rice afterwards...no explanation. He'd eat any other pasta you wanted to serve: no spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine, capellini, vermicelli or anything else long and "worm-shaped". To that end, I never saw him eat pizza either. I never saw him do much except watch wrestling and sleep.

4. I find her beautiful and dangerous
I would like her to speak another language that I might not understand.



She was innocent. :)

5. The media says she became rather fluent in Italian while in prison.
But I bet she can't wait to get back home to English-speaking friends!

:hi:
