"She's crazy. She went all the way to China to get a baby. Aren't there any babies abandoned around here anymore?" - Fred Beckey in 2003 describing a certain Canadian climber.

I'd hate to have the whale fluffer's job.

oh you got a nickel and i got a dime like to get to know you but i havent got the time youve got to walk like a mannequin, roll like a tire act and react, dodge the big spud fryer and wiggle on the bottom, wiggle on the top

40 sheep and 20 s

So... uhmm where did they do it then? Or am I missing something entirely??? V=IR it was a very low voltage. i mean, the temperature in a striking matchhead can be briefly hotter than the surface of the sun.. same deal

More than half of all weather in Washington is rain. Coincidence?

Well, chalk IS aid

The only sane way in is via Slesse Creek. Although, crossing the Larablee-ABP col and then descending might be your next best bet.

I used to think that "Under The Boardwalk" was "I Met An Aaardvark" btw

The ants are my friends, its blowin in the wind.

Oh yeah I heard you can catch Campylobacter from Mountain Lake water if you don't treat it.

The rock isn't all that good. The route descriptions in Fairley are all more or less accurate. If you want to have fun try and free the "5.6 A1" South Face of Ledge. Theres also an impressive unclimbed offwidth/squeeze chim on the south face of Mt Sheer. Bring 6-7" cams or tubes. I believe it turns into an enclosed tunnel at the top.

I hope you like Slide Alder. Lots of it. If you went in Tamihi Creek to get to Red Mountain Mine, "youd be in a heap load of trouble boy" cause it's in Slesse Creek

It's a long way to hike to climb 30m of rock.

Unscrupulous traders dug up the day-old carcasses of diseased pigs and sold them for human consumption, a Chinese newspaper has reported. The World Health Organisation has been puzzled by the extent and severity of an outbreak of streptococcus suis that has claimed the lives of 27 people among 131 infected in the cities of Ziyang and Neijiang, in the south-western province of Sichuan. The bacterium is common in pigs and can cause sickness, but is rare in humans. Patients develop high fever, bleeding under the skin and toxic shock. The last big outbreak was in Jiangsu province seven years ago, when 14 people died. The provincial capital's Chongqing Evening News has reported that police stumbled upon a trade in animals condemned as infected, slaughtered and buried. Last Sunday they found a pig vendor, Chen Ping, with two dead pigs and a sick one on his tricycle. He had bought the pigs for a bargain 50 yuan ($8.15) each. He complied with a police order to bury the pigs, but the next day he dug them up and sold them in another town for 480 yuan each. The newspaper said a large group of pig traders in the area were buying dead pigs and digging up carcasses for resale to butchers. One patient infected with streptococcus suis, Chen Siyou, had helped his neighbour butcher a pig for eating that had died of sickness, a common practice in poverty-stricken rural areas. Government laboratories are mass-producing a pig vaccine. "We have the technology and procedures to bring the disease under control," a government spokesman said.
