Andrew linked me to this video of a woman in Hong Kong who missed her flight at the boarding gate, and I watched it in full screen. I don't think I've watched a video in full screen since last summer, man! "It's not MY fault I'm late, since it was the TRAIN! It's acceptable that I'm late, since I've done it before!" Yeah sure, lady... whatever you say!

Poo nugget for Tuesday, Feb. 17: Doo You Know? - Toilet Paper: Made In China - The first reference to toilet paper dates back to 589 BC, in documents by Chinese scholar Yan Zhitui. Not everyone thought this new practice was such a good idea. An Arab traveler to China in 851 BC complained that the Chinese "are not careful about cleanliness, and they do not wash themselves with water when they have done their necessities; but they only wipe themselves with paper." It would be thousands of years before the bright idea caught on in the rest of the world.
