I’ve been writing all weekend and am too drained to be informative, so here are some random bits of humor instead.
When is a city doomed to never fully recover? Here’s a very funny article from The Onion: Detroit Sold for Scrap .
China really only has two mobile phone companies, but that doesn’t prevent them from duking it out for market share. Here’s my favorite promotion: sign up for new service and get free beer . (OK, probably the worst of a bad lot of Chinese beer, but still…)
Another brilliant one from The Onion: Space Tourist Spends Entire Vacation Inside Space Shuttle . “Knowles, who reportedly spent his first day in space recovering from ‘severe jet lag,’ and most of his second day trying to make contact with relatives back home, is believed to have seen during his interstellar stay only 9.23 x 10-18 of what the Milky Way galaxy alone has to offer. ”
Topless Pools More Expensive Than Strip Club Visits . OK, that’s not the real title of this article about topless swimming pools in Las Vegas, but that’s the impression I got. (story found via World Hum )
