Chairman Mao's embalmed body (against his final wishes) is on display in Tiananmen Square. When we first went to China my wife went in to pay her respects. But said she really just wanted to see if his body looked the same from 15 years previous. I'm not sure if she was expecting him to melt or something lol. I didn't go in as I was afraid of doing something unknowingly offensive and being disappeared.

Not a parent here, but wouldn't the sane and educational approach to any of these "banned" books be to read and discuss them intelligently with
your kids?

So I'm doing a good job of becoming strunk last night and I go to fire up the BBQ to cook some dogs and hotlinks. I had the lid open using a lighter to light it and a freakin rat jumps out of it, bounces off my arm and hits the ground running. At least it wasn't on fire. :shock: With my sloth like reflexes I just looked down and thought "that sucks". I found out with all the burners on high it gets close to 600 degrees. I figure it is pretty much sanitized now. Put out a couple traps to try to eliminate the culprit. We have a field behind the house so rats are not uncommon in the yard, damn vermin.

We had Norway's around when I lived in AK (fishing town).
Some of those darn things were twice the size of an adult muskrat.

I used #1 longspring victors on them & if not anchored they'd drag the trap away!

I just rode on the wing a couple times. When the taxiway was too narrow they would pull one of the pogo's and hang the wing over the runoff next to the taxi way.

Not me.
Edit: I just noticed the ice on the wing in the pogo pic. It ices up over the empty outboard fuel tank.
