8/22

1. YouTube is going to put ads in videos. For example, a video of a dog might have an ad for pet products. Or a video of two drunk girls singing might have an ad for their father the President.

2. I hear that the advertising while videos are being uploaded will be for the headache medicine Bufferin.

3. Chinese officials recently accused American soy bean growers of shipping them soy beans contaminated with weeds and dirt. They’re upset, because the weeds and dirt make it very difficult to put lead paint on the soy beans.

4. Nepal is reducing the fee to climb Mt. Everest in the winter, in order to attract more climbers. But if you want to climb Mt. Everest in the winter, are you really the saving-for-the-future type?

5. A China Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing when it ran out of fuel, soon after another exploded on a runway. I’m beginning to think China Airlines is owned by NASA.
