Link updates today include; a comic about the Sichuan Earthquake by Coco Wang; an article about the dietary shift towards more milk and meat; an article by Simon Winchester in he New York Times questions why China has not developed it's sciences through it's history and lastly, Sharon Stone puts not only foot in mouth, but whole thigh and makes some as some see, outspoken and insensitive comments regarding the earthquake but to me, they are simply laughable (at her, not with her).

"China, in its headlong attempts to modernize, has often demonstrated a dismayingly cavalier attitude toward the well-being of its people". Simon Winchester
I guess he never waited to see what China's response was to the earthquake. I may be wrong but he may be feeling a tiny little bit silly now for writing such a peice.
