Whoa

Caught "Burn the floor" last Sat, went to aikido on Monday(and was down with fever for the next 2 days), went with Adam to scout for good photo location on Tuesday(possibly breaking a few law here and there), went for an Israeli Film Festival show yesterday, going for dinner with a gang today, going down to support a sportsman breaking a Guinness World Record this fri-sat. Didn't get any studying done though.

Strange News

Have a day off today and was browing through the newspaper while having a leisurely (late) breakfast. Came across an article on Li Ao's comment that Singapore are "stupid". Just as I was pondering over this, I came across this article.

Three Singaporeans were found safe Thursday after getting lost on what they said was a mission to find a legendary karate expert on a snowy mountainside in Japan.

All three were dressed in light clothing, and get this, were instructed by one of the guy's dying father (a Singapore karate teacher by the name "Shui Jen Shui"), to seek out a legendary karate master in Soma Village, a district of Hirosaki, who would then give him a secret book on the martial art.
The quote of the day have to be this:

"Japan looked so small on the world map that we thought we would be able to find him straight away."

We could make a movie with this.

On another note, Scientists have discovered fossils of a 375-million-year-old fish, a large scaly creature not seen before, that they say is a long-sought missing link in the evolution of some fishes from water to a life walking on four limbs on land. Fossil Called Missing Link From Sea to Land Animals.

"...Other scientists said that in addition to confirming elements of a major transition in evolution, the fossils were a powerful rebuttal to religious creationists, who have long argued that the absence of such transitional creatures are a serious weakness in Darwin's theory."

In an interview, Dr. Shubin, an evolutionary biologist, let himself go. "It's a really amazing, remarkable intermediate fossil," he said. "It's like, holy cow."

I think it will be cool to create a series of balloon sculptors showing the different stages of evolution of a species. Maybe starts with the fish, reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, mammal, and then human.

Update 14 April 2006: This just in, "Singaporeans believed to have found Japanese martial arts master". Just when I thought the world couldn't be more weird.
