Welcome to

Last sunday on the way home from my usual cycling jaunt around Ft. Monroe I snapped these pics of an amazing moonrise over Mill Creek.

Something culturally bizarre is going on in Hong Kong and from what I haven’t read in the western media (with the exception of a 2003 post on Boing Boing)… either the topic is still too taboo or most people aren’t paying attention. For times like these you can count on Asian Sex Gazette to cover the story (again).

To many Hong Kongers, Nazis represent the epitome of desirability. Their tanks were made by Mercedes and Porsche; their uniforms were original Hugo Boss.
Twenty years after the last British skinhead tired of the joke, it’s still not unusual to see a Hong Kong teen in an Adolph Hitler European Tour t-shirt.

Andrew Lin’s Mountain of Sadness is just that… mountainous and sad… and well, funny. That self-doubt and loathing kind of funny. Haha, just kidding!

Thanks Gary!

This sort of story seems to pop up every few years…

Nasa says out of this world trans-orbital lovin’ could jeopardize manned missions to Mars. Where are the guilt free, pan-sexual astronauts when you need them?

“With the prospect of a very long-term mission, it’s hard to ignore the question of sexuality,” says Lawrence Palinkas, a medical anthropologist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, an author of the report. It reviewed NASA’s plans for research to keep astronauts safe and healthy in space – but the plans make no mention of sexual issues in spaceflight.
