I’m on a FP kick (that’s foreign policy) since I’m unemployed. Ok, I’m supposed to be collecting certs and reading IT books but the world is so fascinating.
Note, I did collect $89.92 last week as a part time temporary driver helper for UPS, so I guess, to Simpson’s fans that makes me Santa’s Little Helper 🙂
This was listed as one of the most important missed stories of 2008:

The other 9 ‘missed’ stories are pretty good also.
Basically, out of 52 samples of steel tested in China, 27 were too light to meet chinese standards. Some batches weighed LESS than iron! so they were substituting something else. Perhaps melamine?
Perhaps the same contractors who built the buildings that collapsed is building these? Will they fall down with the next earthquake?
