Yi People Dance Naked, Too

Date October 13, 2008

Matt gets the world to dance.

But, he can’t dance with everyone, nor would he want to maybe.

Purification dances look like they might hurt.

The Nuo dance of the Yi people in China looks like it would allow some participants to hide out among giraffes, zebras and leopards. I’m not sure.

No matter…here at CosmoFair, we want the world to enjoy life. And, when people dance, they are usually happy.

When do you dance?

2010 South African World Cup Mascot Unveiled

Date September 24, 2008

A leopard has been chosen as the 2010 South African World Cup Mascot.

His name - Zakumi.

Zakumi was born June 16, 1994…the year apartheid died! It is also the day Youth Day is celebrated.

ZA is the country’s initials in Afrikaans. Kumi mean 10 for the year of the tournament.

Zakumi also means - “Come here” in southern African languages.

The idea, design and realization all came out of South Africa.

Where will you be during the 2010 World Cup?

Funniest Thing I Ever Saw a Car Do - Citroen C4

Date September 12, 2008

I needed a laugh. By chance, my wife sent me this link. Why she was looking at ths car, I dunno, or maybe need to know.

Still, this is a crackup.

it’s the funniest thing I ever saw a car do, or hope to see do.

Come to think of it, my kids loved transformers growing up. Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised.

Giant Mechanical Spiders on Parade

Date September 9, 2008

Sing along with me…”I don’t like mechanical spiders and snakes…”

Not everyone sings this song, of course. Especially the French Company La Machine that has created a 15-meter (50′) 37-ton mechanical spider which is parading along the Liverpool waterfront.

So…is this the French getting back at the English for some past misdeed?

And, what about this, um, big fellow for a pet or show-and-tell at school?

“Mommy, can I take my big spider to school?”

13-Year Old Graduate Student - Zhang Xinyang

Date September 3, 2008

Zhang Xinyang is just 13-years old. He is also a graduate student at one of China’s most prestigious universities - Beijing University of Technology.

He enrolled in college when he was 10-years old and completed the four year program in three years while most other students were cramming four years of courses into five, six or even seven years.

Zhang will be studying mathematics.

Yeah, but can he compute the 15% tip he wants to add to the restaurant bill? I know some E.E. PhDs who can’t do that.

Still, Zhang is to be given credit for excelling, and his parents and the university, too for giving the boy a chance…as long as he still has time to be a boy. In that last pic…it seems he does.

1000 Girls Attend Massive Bikini Party in China

Date September 1, 2008

A Readers Digest article I read a long time ago told me there were two main reasons people went to the beach.

1. to look at the others - muscle dudes and girls in bikins

2. to be looked at - as you strut your stuff in your bikini and Speedo.

There’s a massive bikini party going on in Sanya, Hainan Province. It was organized by the Sanya city government and Trendshealth Magazine.

Some 1000 Chinese girls showed up in their bikinis. Dang it! Where is that press pass when I need it? Seriously. Why am I sitting here when these young ladies are running around there?

As the black preacher once said, “Help me, somebody. Help me.”

How Old is iPhone Girl?

Date August 29, 2008

iphone girl has Apple in hot water.

How old is she?

Sure looks to me like she is working in an Asian factory that is doing the iPhone thing.

“News reports say the woman may work at a factory run by an Apple contractor, Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Group, in the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen.”

Woman?!! If this little girl is a woman, then He Kexin is 16-years old.

So, I wonder if all the treehugging, Mac-toters are going to get their underwear in a knot over this?

And if not, why not?

Bangladesh Sees Birth of Two-headed Baby (PIC)

Date August 28, 2008

Sometimes, two heads are not better than one.

Kiron weighed 5.5 kilograms (12.1 lbs). He has one stomach and eats normally from both mouths. He has one genital organ and a full set of limbs. He was born by Cesarean section on 8/25.

The mother is 22-years old and the hospital says both are at risk from anxious crowds.

When babies are born with physical abnormalities in Bangladesh or India they are often thought to be gods. People are already leaving money for little Kiron.

Last year, a little girl was born with eight limbs and many believed she was the reincarnation of the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth.

In any event, mom and dad have a whole lot of adjusting to make.
