A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular culling of the weakest members. In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills off brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. |

Day 751: My captors continue to torment me with bizarre dangling objects. They eat lavish meals in my presence while I am forced to subsist on dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of eventual escape -- that, and the satisfaction I get from occasionally ruining some piece of their furniture. I fear I may be going insane. Yesterday, I ate a houseplant. Tomorrow I may eat another. |

HCMC - Major changes will be made to the 2005 master urban plan of Thu Thiem New Urban Area in HCMC's District 2, with targets to increase the total floor space of construction facilities there by a staggering 43%, a city official said. Nguyen Anh Tuan, head of Thu Thiem Investment and Construction Authority (Thu Thiem ICA), told a workshop on Thursday that the total floor space will be revised up to 7.7 million square meters to accommodate 160,000 residents, the latter figure also showing a 33% increase over the previous plan. That will also mean changes to the construction density and the height of buildings there. U.S.-based consultant Sasaki Associates Inc. as the designer and Thu Thiem ICA have been tasked to make a study for the amendment of detailed planning of the scale 1/2,000 and urban design guidelines for the peninsula development. Tuan told participants in the workshop held at the Rex Hotel in downtown HCMC on Thursday that the approved master plan in 2005 shaped an image for Thu Thiem, but some problems had occurred during implementation, thus adjustment was needed to improve the effectiveness of the future urban town. Mitch Glass, project manager of the American consultant firm Sasaki Associates, elaborated that the goals of the master plan amendment this time included integration of the plan with infrastructure planning and adjustment of land use to meet current socio-economic conditions. Changes therefore will be made to construction density, heights, landmarks and block structure in the core area in the new urban town, he said. The amendment will affect An Khanh, Thu Thiem, An Loi Dong, Binh An and Binh Khanh wards that have been zoned for the Core Area, Central Lake, Southern Delta region and Eastern Resident Area. According the revised plan, Thu Thiem New Urban Area, which covers 657 hectares, will create workspace for 450,000 per day, as well as receive a million visitors every day. Besides mentioning some public facilities such as the Opera House, Children Palace and fire fighting facilities, the consultant presented areas for hotel developments and residential areas in the town. Architect Khuong Van Muoi, chairman of the HCMC Association of Architects, suggested the consultant mention in the plan the connection of roads for pedestrians as a popular component in any modern town. In addition, traffic system connection and parking lot system development are issues to be considered in the plan. Architect Luu Trong Hai said that the zoning plan should consider the effectiveness of investment if it wanted to woo potential investors. Therefore public facilities should be developed to pave the way for investors to follow. Unlike the popular practice that allows for development of high-rise buildings along main roads in different regions, Hai reckoned that high-rise buildings should be developed in group in a certain area only, and the height should not be capped. Currently, the approved zoning plan allows a maximum of 300 meters high for the observation tower and a maximum of 40 floors for other buildings in the peninsula. Architect Ngo Viet Nam Son echoed his colleagues' ideas, saying that the city should consider selecting a specific area for high-rise building development and should not limit the height of buildings in the area. Besides, some other participants suggested the consultant to join hands with other organizations to look for a suitable solution to traffic bottlenecks. The American consultant now has couples of weeks to make amendments and compile urban design guidelines before sending the master plan to the municipal authorities for approval by April this year. |

The college professor had just finished explaining an important research project to his class. He emphasized that this paper was an absolute requirement for passing his class, and that there would be only two acceptable excuses for being late. Those were a medically certifiable illness or a death in the student's immediate family. A smart ass student in the back of the classroom waved his hand and spoke up. "But what about extreme sexual exhaustion, professor?" As you would expect, the class exploded in laughter. When the students had finally settled down, the professor froze the young man with a glaring look. "Well," he responded, "I guess you'll just have to learn to write with your other hand." |

Every night, Frank would go down to the liquor store, get a six pack, bring it home, and drink it while he watched TV. One night, as he finished his last beer, the doorbell rang. He stumbled to the door and found a six-foot cockroach standing there. The bug grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the room, then left. The next night, after he finished his 4th beer, the doorbell rang. He walked slowly to the door and found the same six-foot cockroach standing there. The big bug punched him in the stomach, then left. The next night, after he finished his 1st beer, the doorbell rang again. The same six-foot cockroach was standing there. This time he was kneed in the groin and hit behind the ear as he doubled over in pain. Then the big bug left. The fourth night Frank didn't drink at all. The doorbell rang. The cockroach was standing there. The bug beat the snot out of Frank and left him in a heap on the living room floor. The following day, Frank went to see his doctor. He explained events of the preceding four nights. "What can I do?" he pleaded. "Not much" the doctor replied. "There's just a nasty bug going around." |

These 4 gents go out to play golf one sunny morning. One is detained in the clubhouse, and the other three are discussing their children while walking to the first tee. "My son Kent," says one, "has made quite a name for himself in the home-building industry. He began as a carpenter, but now owns his own design and construction firm. He's so successful in fact, in the last year he was able to give a good friend a brand new home as a gift." The second man, no to be out done, tells how his son began his career as a car salesman, but now owns a multi-line dealership. "Norm's so successful, in fact, in the last six months he gave his friend two brand new cars as a gift." The third man's son, Greg, has worked his way up through a stock brokerage, and in the last few weeks has given a good friend a large stock portfolio as a gift. As the fourth man arrives at the tee, another tells him that they have been discussing their progeny and asks what line his son is in. "To tell the truth, I'm not very pleased with how my son turned out," he replies. "For 15 years, Chico's been a hairdresser, and I've just recently discovered he's gay. However, on the bright side, he must be good at what he does because his last three boyfriends have given him a brand new house, two cars, and a big pile of stock certificates." |
