"A Chinese historian has recreated what he claims was the first pedal-powered cycle ever invented - which he says was in use over 2,000 years before the first western bicycle." - Jenny Morman from Bookmarklet

Xu said he stumbled across the discovery while studying the works of legendary ancient Chinese inventor Lu Ban, who was born more than 2,500 years ago. Lu is credited with inventing devastating military weapons like a counterweighted 'cloud ladder' for storming castle defences, and a 'wooden bird' that could supposedly glide for three days without landing.

Hehe, poor evolutionary psychology. All the feminists are mad at it :) - Eivind

"In South America the slums are attached to the outskirts of mega-cities such as Caracas and Mexico City like wasps’ nests on a cliff face. In a hilly island city like Hong Kong, however, living space is limited. Here you only see the laboriously constructed huts made of corrugated iron and planks of wood in which the poorest of the poor live if you look upwards – they occupy, to put it in cynical terms, a penthouse location." - Jenny Morman from Bookmarklet

"“Zombie Meat,” an exquisite new Japanese snack for the horror enthusiast, consists of bite-sized chunks of tender blue flesh that, according to the package, has been aged to deadly perfection at the graveyard." - Jenny Morman from Bookmarklet

"The ghastly meat snack, which tastes remarkably like peppered beef jerky, can be found at select shops in Japan for 399 yen (about $4.50) per pack." - Jenny Morman

He was soon followed out of customs by an old man with an atavistic mustache and a desperate blond comb-over, pushing an overburdened baggage cart. That man was George Alan Rekers, of North Miami — the callboy's client and, as it happens, one of America's most prominent anti-gay activists. Rekers, a Baptist minister who is a leading scholar for the Christian right, left the terminal with his gay escort, looking a bit discomfited when a picture of the two was snapped with a hot-pink digital camera." - Jenny Morman from Bookmarklet

That seems fairly common among the 'family values' types... - Eivind

Yeah, the article is fairly short and worth a read - Jenny Morman

I am a centrist moderate social libertarian. Left: 0.95, Libertarian: 2.13 - Jenny Morman from Bookmarklet

My biggest problem is with the y-axis spanning from libertarian to authoritarian. How about no central government to an all encompassing central government (but not necessarily an authoritarian one as I understand the term)? - Eivind

"Patricia Anne "Pattie" Boyd (born 17 March 1944) is an English model and photographer, and the former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton. She was the inspiration for love songs written by both musicians, Harrison's, "Something", "For You Blue" and "Isn't It a Pity", and Clapton's "Layla", "Wonderful Tonight" and "Bell Bottom Blues"." - Jenny Morman from Bookmarklet

"Alma tell us. All modern women are jealous. You didn't even use "Ponds" yet you got Gustav and Walter and Franz."- Tom Lehrer - Melanie Reed
