POPSSo whatever happened to Austin? I've been absent from Clipmarks for a while, while I traveled in India and then had to make up for vacation by working overtime back in Beijing. I'm back now, and settled in, and putting pictures of my adventures up on facebook.

POPSOuyangwulong's New Travel Plans Hi y'all! I still love you guys, even if I haven't been clipping as much as I'd like to of late. While the Commies may be keeping me away from the Pakistani border, as originally planned, I've just come upon the lovely opportunity to travel to Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. That means I'll be putting my feet up in a houseboat on Lake Dal, fishing in high mountain valleys, and all this without having to give up my hobby of hanging out with Islamic terrorists. I guess sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too! If anyone here is in Srinigar next month, let me know and I'll buy you a cup of tea!

POPSGood News! You've Got Oil! Isn't that just the best new anyone ever heard? What could go wrong? And I bet this cute cooperation between India and Pakistan will be even stronger if they find oil. I mean what could go wrong? After all, it is the Kashmir, and that place isn't at all contentious, right? I personally am really skeptical that oil could accumulate in Jammu and Kashmir because of constant seismic activity. (something like 30 earthquakes per day.) If I'm right, then that makes this a pretty asinine political maneuver. There is also the possibility that this is a guerrilla marketing campaign for "There Will Be Blood" at the Oscars.

POPSThe Miracle of Jihad This is the opposite perspective that any American should consider very carefully, especially if they espouse military strategy. Although we see them as "Evil" and "Terrorists" of course, they don't see themselves that way. Since the Napoleon's expedition in Egypt, the Islamic world has found itself besieged by overwhelming European Empires. Although once the dominant force that defeated Europe, with the decline of the Ottoman and Persian Empires, they found themselves weak and helpless against the Europeans. During the 20th century, when much of the Islamic world was colonized, this anxiety became acute. Now, against an overwhelming enemy of superior strength, they are winning back ground. To us it is a disaster, but to them it is a miracle. It is to some in the Islamic world what the American Revolution was for us - a victory of the people. Ask yourself: If I were not blinded by my social context, would I still believe as I do?

POPSTerrestrial Ancestor of Whales Discovered This theory turns popular understanding of whale evolution upside down. Until now, it was a widely held belief that today's whales are the descendents of a terrestrial carnivore—not some deer-sized herbivorous ungulate.

POPSLed Zeppelin Rocks Again. I've heard many expressions of confusion about what Zeppelin songs mean, or are they all "dazed and confused," themselves. but I think it's easy: 1.) They want a woman, 2) They want to get away from a woman, 3) They like woman, 4) They hate woman, 5) They want a woman to come back 6) They want a woman to stay away,7) They want to plunge every inch of their love deep deep deep, 8) They want to ramble on, 9) they think woman are excessively interested in shopping. lol I got their newly released remixed album, Mothership, Pretty awesome.
