I’ll have the "Chop the Strange Fish," please. China tries to stamp out "Chinglish" before the Olympics.
Here’s a coupon for a free Chic-fil-A chicken sandwich and a Coke. I love Chic-fil-A.

YouTube’s Greatest Hits
Read/Write Web yesterday examined YouTube’s most popular videos. The results were somewhat surprising.
Number one - my only favorite that turned up on the list - is "The Evolution of Dance."
The promise of the Internet is the free sharing of information, and like all new media, it was immediately co-opted by the predictable interests: news, comedy, romance, opinion, porn. YouTube began as a human experiment: what do we, as a race, want to watch? The people have spoken: we want dancing comedians and girls with hips that don’t lie.
The corporate influence is also notable here. Apparently, we enjoy watching professionals more than the Numa video or the Charlie short. Give me a magical liopleurodon over My Chemical Romance (#3 and #7 on the list) any day.
