At about 6 p.m. on August 6, two students walked out of their library in Jilin University and looked up. “Look! A flying dragon appears in the sky!” A student named Li captured an image of the dragon on his picture-phone, providing the second instance of photo documentation of a dragon flying over China so far this summer. “When I was walking out of the library, I saw a bright, animal-shaped object flying in the sky, heading southeast. It was incredibly dazzling, just like a gigantic dragon. I immediately took a picture of this unusual event on my cellphone,” said excitedly Li, a student at Jilin University, Jilin province.

Lung may be stealing a march. Or maybe Ryumyo is trying to embarrass him by causing people to post fuzzy pictures.

Blame him anyway. He didn't handle the whole drunken racial slurs thing very well at all. I thought of a better spin minutes after hearing about it.

Depends on which Ajq'ij you talk to, and how they count the dead days. The Mayan solar calendar has 360 'normal' days, along with 5 days that belong to the Lords of Xibalba. They don't actually show up on the calendar, and no one leaves the house or does anything on them. How you count them could drastically change the date for the beginning of the sixth world. Most Ajq'ij agree on the 2011 date, though.

We've been oppressing the Indians for 500 years. If anything, we're early.

You may not have been drinking, Ophis, but I was eating.
Mashed potatoes with gravy does not feel as good exiting the nostrils as it does entering the throat. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a new keyboard...
