rune writes "Both the BBC and The Register have articles on China's next manned space mission. This time two taikonauts are planned to be on board the Shenzou VI spacecraft sometime during 2005 for about five days. There is also a brief mention of the plans of the Chinese Space Agency for lunar exploration." hrld1,kon adds a link to this article on Chinaview, the official English-language news source for the People's Republic of China.

    Possibly true, but they don't kill as many of their comrades so they'll still win the numbers game ... They're also less likely to be lulled into a false celebration of victory when their enemy decided to fight 'smart' and use urban guerilla warfare instead of outright confrontation.

    Ignoring that bullshit, don't assume the USA has superior military ability just because you're told it has. Military intelligence there right now is just plain shite.

    I noticed today that it's very cold. I am also blaming Bill Clinton for the coming of winter. While I am at it I think I should also blame Bill Clinton for the darkness. Oh yea also for the rain and that itching in my left butcheek. That's Clinton's fault too.

    Hey, just be happy he didn't seduce your wife and/or girl friend.
