Flaccid with rage: I wish I had cable and enough energy to stay up late just to watch Stephen Colbert. I don’t know if he writes his own material, but he says the best things. Here is a clip from a recent show.
Hotel in a quarry: Tell me again why somebody would want to spend a night in a hotel built within a huge hole in the ground (a former quarry), which is partially filled with water? What happens during a heavy rain? I’m thinking that the hole is going to fill up with water. Big thinker here fellas. Chinese wife shortage: By 2020 there are expected to be 30 million more men than women living in China. This is making it particularly difficult for men with low income or little education to find a wife. Also something to note is that by 2040 30% of the total population of China will be 60 years old and older. Profanisaurus Rex: This is a book that I have to get. It is a consummate collection of slang definitions. I found out about it at Ryan’s site. Here are some samples he posted. It’s too bad that you can’t buy this in US, only UK. Christmas Spirit: n. An essentially altruistic approach to oral sex adopted by ladies who believe it is better to give than to receive. ie. ‘Henry rather liked his new bird as she displayed the Christmas spirit in abundance, noshing him off three times a day and never asking for anything in return.’ Breakfast Maker: n. An early morning fart which is so smelly, that the missus has no choice but to get out of bed and make the breakfast.

That hotel looks pretty space age. I’d probably stay there… on a clear day.
No question it does look pretty neat, but the water problem still bothers me. It is essentially a huge water filled hole. Unless they can ensure people that they have a way to keep it from filling during storms it’s a disaster waiting to happen. How about those views too? Nothing but rocky walls. Probably viewed best from above.
