I might as well join in the dozens of other websites referring to this questionable news item from China. The links seem to refer back to this item in the UK’s Metro newspaper:
Chinese workers have covered a giant steel bridge with butter because officials are fed up with traffic jams caused by people who slow down to watch suicide victims leaping to their death.
Government officials in Guangzhou in south east China ordered workers to smear butter on all of the climbable surfaces of the 1,000 foot long steel bridge.
I suppose this is something the Morenci Chamber might consider for next week’s bridge walk.
Beef: It’s real meat, all right. But it ain’t Kobe. The US Department of Agriculture categorizes beef into eight grades of quality. The bottom three—utility, cutter, and canner—are typically used in processed foods and come from older steers with partially ossified vertebrae, tougher tissue, and generally less reason to live. ConAgra wasn’t exactly forthcoming on what’s inside Slim Jim.
In cultures that consume them, a pig in the yard was always a marvellously efficient part of the household. It consumed waste, was a reasonably biddable housemate and could be converted, when the time came, into a variety of foods for immediate consumption or preservation.
Starting August 15, I will try to stay hidden for 30 days. Not even my closest friends or my editors will know where I am. I’ll remain in the US and will be online regularly. I will continue to use social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and I’ll make cell phone calls. I’ll generally stay in the kind of social environment I like to live in (no hiding in a cabin in Montana), and I’ll keep track of my pursuers, searching constantly for news about myself.
Sounds like fun to me. I wouldn’t mind getting lost sometime. Follow his venture here. The cheater changed his eye color.
