One of the big shocks of going to China is just how fast the population drops off at the edge of a city. Regardless of the occasional news bite about China's elite, there aren't any exoburbs or suburbs in practice. Even with the world's largest population, China has the kind of empty space the United States hasn't seen in ages.
Besides, China needs this kind of rail a hell of a lot more than the United States. Between the New Year and having to go to your hometown for official business (it's damn hard to change your official municipality of residence), trains in the PRC are up to their gills.
Actually, there's a "conservation whipping boy" in a hidden room of each level getting pummeled against the wall of his cell to account for inconsistencies arising from use of the gun.
When I got my chemo drugs, the nurses--even the male ones--were always wrapped in plastic from head to foot. I joked, "Is that because it's carcinogenic"? The guy smiled and said, "Oh yeah, really carcinogenic. But only in small amounts."
Yes, whole sections of OT law are obviously superseded by the new testament (that's kind of the point), but that doesn't mean they aren't included in the bible.
They already have. Nuclear power will get vastly more expensive than today, but with operationally proven technologies we'll see the end of coal (over 200 years from now, all things being equal)) before we see the end of uranium as a viable fuel.
In addition to passing the GDP of several Western European countries, China has likewise far surpassed the shear awfulness of their taste in American music. A trip to a record store [bin in a market stall] in Shanghai is like investigating that giant swirling mass of accumulated garbage they've been talking about in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

Don't you think God is just telling you not to go to Indianapolis?

Have you seen the stuff Anonymous Coward posts on here? I for one don't want to see his "inner sanctum."
Someone didn't get Nick at Nite.
However, there are 45 million sheep.
Sounds like God could have used CVS.
In that case, I'm joining the Secret Service.
Yeah, but he's still trying to find it in the 40-foot tall pyramid of 18" boxes lashed together with packing tape.
Of course not.
The Large Hardon Collider: No girls allowed.
It's time to enter the future of coed showers.
At least they're not walking into an agent's office to show him their act...
...were his last words before the box jellyfish, funnel spiders, Tasmanian devils, great whites, and inland taipans overtook him.
I'd rather have a peanut.
Yeah, we went all-metric:
5.56mm, 7.62mm, 12.7mm...

What a coincidence that they make an enormous overreaction which frees up countless gigabits of bandwidth!

Perhaps it wasn't sufficiently terrible.

At least that's what I heard on the 700 Club.
