While the world to Tibet and looks it frowns, while youth tempers the world its body and strives gene Beijing to precious metals and to win glory, the resident Chinese people struggle with very different concerns. No, it does not eradicate Chinglish is meant, the charming mishmash of Chinese and English - as a classic example of this is mentioned, namely the warning of the slippery ground, "Take care of your slip!"
No, no, not only for such things there, but about real serious. At least if we look to Luoyang, a city in Henan province. There, one suffers from the large number of nuisance flies, which is still larger than the number of Chinese. And that's saying something well known.
in Luoyang has decided the local government to tackle the problem by allowing grant a citizen committee. This committee provides each 5 yuan, or 40 cents, of the ten dead flies adduced. Since then draw hordes of murderous flying residents of the resort and try to supplement their income. Nevertheless: In the first two hours of the campaign committee had to make a significant sum already loose, because more than 2,000 flying corpses were delivered, and that's according to Adam Riese - or better here: by Liu Hui - more than 1,000 yuan. From a distance, the overall situation for the fly population around Luoyang not very rosy dar.
Speaking from a distance.
I do not know about you, but I have personally been a dislike of polycyclic cooking shows on television. Not because I made them would find boring or bad, no, but because everyone else will find this organized destruction of food seems good, while I do not understand why other people I cooking or should even watch the food. Now I hear
now and then that one can learn something there and that one that helps in life. And so we come back to China. In the area of Cangxian a housewife standing at the stove to cook dinner - and without television cameras. She was injured by a cannon ball.
read back using nothing left. As was just really cannonball. How could this happen? I mean this with the cooking under fire? Well, it is certain that the cannon ball penetrated through the roof of the little house in the kitchen and the woman on the injured leg. If it had broken out somewhere in the vicinity of a war, you would see through this phenomenon certainly faster. But Tibet is not Cangxian - no shootouts far and wide.
Amazingly, were found guilty quite fast: A group of local meteorologists. Yeah, right: meteorologists. Here at this profession than by making unpopular that it acts as if she could predict the weather. In Cangxian but went on to the weather: They fired from guns on clouds to move them from raining.
Admittedly, this may sound a little confused. Now, however, researchers have recently discovered that along busy shipping routes very much sulfur dioxide in the air. After all, marine fuel contains 2700 times as much sulfur as auto fuel. This makes the water condenses otherwise, the clouds can hold more and more water, but if they rain down then goes on a swing, as if you fall over a huge bucket of water. Such clouds are also like to put through the production of artificial crystallization nuclei for raining out, and that is when they do not happen in the area, which could be completely wet. The works include the fact that you fire projectiles into the cloud.
far, so good. But then what went wrong in China? Probably some young inexperienced engineer who lost his nerve. Because the weather cannon should be fired near the residential area, the old master meteorologists a special gun construct them: the bottom of the pipe was there a strong spring, and when the ball is perpendicular fired up, they could fall after the activation of the cloud back into the tube. It was thus likely to fire in crowded areas. But the young engineer, as I said, just before the shot assailed him nagging doubts - and a very little fear was there too. When nobody was looking, he tapped his index finger quickly to the vertical upward pointing pipe to get it to tilt a little and to ensure that the ball as far away from him take. We already know the result.
had perhaps the meteorologists reported better in Luoyang and shot dead with her gun flying. Then have They also collected money for it.
