I wanted to use Blogger's spellchecker, so I clicked on the icon to "temporarily enable popups" in IE. Clicking it wiped my post from the editor...so here's what I could salvage from memory:
- The difficulties of learning Cantonese
- The wheel in the Middle East - lost and found [via Foreign Dispatches]
- Detroit considers "reverse racism" to help majority black population [via Plastic]
- "Blood doping" in athletes
- How deadly are scorpions?
- The Ali G guest recruitment technique
- I did visit the airshow as planned, but, unlike Laurence, we saw the size of the crowd, and didn't go in, watching from a nearby hilltop instead
- Wind forecasting becomes big business
- The end of US welfare capitalism
- Treachery in Britain during World War 2
- This is quite old, but still funny: Things you would never know without the movies
- A feature on an Indian website, 40 years after the anniversary of the 1962 India-China war
