RAMMA LAMMA DAY TRIP

Last Friday I spent the afternoon on Lamma Island, the third largest island in Hong Kong and – as it happens – where Chow Yun-fat grew up.

It’s also something of a reputed hippie paradise. Lots of counterculture-types (particularly expats) live there, yet – unlike Disco Bay, another ex-pat heavy village, and the one where I live – it still has a very old-school local flavor that gives it character compared to DB’s park-like sterility.

It also has some of the best seafood in Hong Kong ... or anywhere else, really.

And it looks something like this.



Click the grid for the whole set if you like.

I was there with the rest of my office for a company outing (team-building and all that). It was fun, but blistering hot at 34ºC – which is why I skipped the watersports portion of the trip and sat in a cafe with ten really cute Chinese girls drinking Irish coffee.

As you do.

And even then, due to a sunblock application error, I still ended up with a pink triangle on me chest.



Good times.

Anyway, yr looking at highlights from the two villages we visited (Sok Kwu Wan and Yung Shue Wan) which I’ve been to several times (and even hiked from one to the other once), and something called the Lamma Fisherfolk's Village, a touristy thing showing how HK’s fishing community lives. That was pretty interesting, not least because one of my colleagues’parents are fishermen and she spent her childhood in a junk learning the ropes, so she was able to explain a lot of the tools and tricks to me.

Now she’s an office administrator. Which just goes to show.

Go fish,

HOW EINSTEIN DESTROYED AMERICA WITH SCIENCE

ITEM: Einstein’s Theory Of Relativity is bad science and a secret plot by liberals to destroy Christianity, and therefore America.

Source: Andy Schlafly, founder of Conservapedia, the conservative (or as conservatives call it, "accurate") version of Wikipedia.

How do we know E=mc2 is not science? Because the Bible disproves it.

Conservapedia defines "action-at-a-distance" as "Action at a distance consists of affecting a distant body instantaneously. At the atom level, this is known as "non-locality." In non-confusing terms, that indicates the ability to cause something to happen instantaneously in another location (i.e., faster than the speed of light). Since Jesus could, reportedly, do this, thus Einstein is wrong. Schlafly's evidence is John 4:46-54, in which Jesus reportedly cured someone's son just by saying it had happened.

And how do we know it’s undermining Christianity? Because people who believe it stop reading the Bible.
 

 See, e.g., historian Paul Johnson's book about the 20th century, and the article written by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe as allegedly assisted by Barack Obama. Virtually no one who is taught and believes relativity continues to read the Bible, a book that outsells New York Times bestsellers by a hundred-fold

And we know it’s a liberal plot because they use it in legal arguments against conservative Christians, and won’t let people like Andy Sclafly teach the truth about relativity in schools.
