热烈庆祝中华人民共和国成立60周年!

今天去参加了一个中央情报局的校园招聘信息会。在讲到探员待遇的时候情报官员特别指出,如果候选人会说中文,阿拉伯语,波斯语,俄语和朝鲜语中的任何一种,根据熟练程度立刻会给予高达三万5千美元(20余万人民币)的签约奖励。顿时,我心中一种按耐不住的民族自豪感迸发而出。
 
中华人民共和国万岁!世界人民大团结万岁!

Planet in Peril

Q: What is it that you can get out of a shark-fin soup that you cannot get from a rice stick soup?
A: Absolutely nothing...
Fact: 38,000,000 sharks are killed for fins each year - National Geographic
 
Q: Name one thing you can do with an elephant tusk.
A: ......
Fact 1: China's national gift to the United Nations is one of the world's largest ivory carvings that depicts the Chengdu-Kunming railway to demonstrate the productivity and unprecedented accomplishments of a socialist system - See picture in my album.
Fact 2: The soviet union's (then the largest socialist regime in the world) national gift to the United Nations is a broze statue named: Let Us Beat Swords into Plowshares symbolizing man's desire to put an end to war and convert the means of destruction into creative tools for the benefit of all mankind.

对“人定胜天”的回应

The great American environmentalist Rob Watson of EcoTech concluded the following about Mother Nature during an interview with my favourite New York Times coclumnist Thomas L. Friedman, who included it in his latest book " Hot Flat and Crowded - Why we need a green revolution and how it can renew America" and I quote:
 
"[Mother Nature] is just chemistry, biology, and physics" Watson likes to say. "Everything she does is just the sum of those three things. She's completely amoral. She doesn't care about poetry or art or whether you go to church. You can't negotiate with her, and you can't spin her and you can't evade her rules. All you can do is fit in as a species. And when a species doesn't learn to fit in with Mother Nature, it gets kicked out." It's that simple, says Watson, and that's why "every day you look in the mirror now, you're seeing an endangered species."

Farewell Amy Poehler!

My laughs turned into tears as this SNL skit wound down:
 
Don Draper's Guide to Picking up Women
 
DD: Hello, I am Don Draper. I've been fortunate enough to have affairs with many women. Some say:"boy, Don. How do you do it?" It's simple. And, you can do it too, if you follow my four easy steps. Step One: wind out remain absolutely silent...
Female Client: Hi, I am Jessica.
DD: (silent while staring straight into her eyes)
Female Client: Little shy, aren't we? (fidgeting, escaping DD's stare)
DD: (continue to remain silent while staring deeper into her soul)
Female Client: Marry me! I want to have your children!
DD: See?
 
DD: Step Two: when asked about your past, give vague, open ended answers.
Secretary: so Don, tell me about your family. Any brothers and sisters?
DD: (staring into the void) there...was a man, with bright...shiny shoes. I saw him dancing, until the accident...
Secretary: aww...how mysterious!
DD: (wink)
 
DD: Step Three: have a great name.
Female Employees: (giggling and gossipping)
NS: Hi, I'm Nathaniel Snerpous.
Female Employees: (rolled their eyes and dismissed immediately)
DD: (strut into the office)
Female Employee: well, hello.
DD: (speaking with supreme confidence while looking her straight in the eyes) Don Draper.
Female Employee: Let's get me out of this dress
 
DD: and finally Step Four: look fantastic in a suit; look fantastic in casual wear; look fantastic in anything. Sound good, smell good, kiss good. Strut around with supreme confidence. Be uncanniy successful at your job. Blow people away every time you say anything. Take six-hour lunches. Disappear for weeks at a time. Lie to everyone about everything and...drink and smoke constantly. Basically, be Don Draper.
