Pandamonium! 12 panda babies cuddle

BEIJING – Too cute?

Here is some video of a dozen baby pandas playing in a crib-like structure at the Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base in China’s southwestern province of Sichuan. 

The 12 panda babies just made their debut at the research center on Monday. They were all born this year from eight different litters. 

The Chengdu base started in 1987 with only four pandas, but now it has 108 giant pandas.

China started sending its pandas overseas as a diplomatic gesture as in 1958. Now 32 giant pandas live outside China, including 13 in the U.S.

In June 2011 China began conducting its once-a-decade “panda census” to learn how many are living in the country, but the results have not been released yet. According to the last census done in 2000, there were 1,596 pandas in China, with most of them living in Sichuan province.

Gisele Bundchen Lingerie's ban by Brazil Gov

Brazil's Ministry for Women is trying to ban a TV ad featuring model Gisele Bundchen giving her husband bad news while she's dressed in lingerie. In a statement, the agency said it thinks the ad is sexist and reinforces the stereotype that women are sex objects. The lingerie company, Hope, replied that the ad shows "with good humor, that the natural sensuality of Brazilian women, which is known worldwide, can be an effective weapon when giving bad news."

What a small world

They say that home is “where the heart is,” but for one 27-year-old woman from Changzhi in northern China’s Shanxi Province named Mo Hongping, home for the last sixteen years has been a four-foot long and 1-and-one-half foot wide basket. She had been a sickly child, as according to her mother, Wang Xiuhua, she fell seriously ill with a fever when she was barely three weeks old. Inclement conditions and a mountain passage blocked with snow prevented an immediate trip to the nearest hospital. When they finally were able to take the child to the hospital, Mo was diagnosed with meningitis. Although she miraculously survived, she didn’t thrive, and her life thereafter was fraught with seizures, constant pain and other developmental problem. She was 11 years old when her “basket life” began. One day, during autumn harvest season, her mother placed her in a basket usually reserved for maize and noticed that the child seemed content just to remain. Her mother also discovered that the rims of the basket relieved some of her pain because they functioned as supports for her body, which slightly folded her frame. The basket was subsequently fitted with wheels to permit mobility, and it has been the core of her existence ever since. Is there more medical help for this poor woman, whose only crime appears to be that of poverty? Somehow, there must be, but for now life remains not a bowl of cherries, but rather a basket usually reserved for corn.

Serious Picture. Please don't smile

Chinese Man Buys Most Expensive Whiskey Ever Made

crdt to WAN

There’s good whiskey and there’s GOOD whiskey. One Chinese man must have found the Holy Grail of the stuff, because he dropped $79.400 as a deposit on a bottle that sells for $200,000. Only twelve bottles of the Dalmore single malt were produced, and the bottle is a whopping 62-years old. According to the report on ChannelNewsAsia.com, the price breakdown is about $12,000 per serving. The bottle is currently located in the Changi Aiprport in Singapore, with the man securing it via bank transfer. Another bottle was sold three months ago, but that only sold for $188,000, That guy got suckered. Vijay Mallya, who just so happens to be the chairman of Whyte & Mackay and United Spirits, the owner of the brand, stated spending more money on a bottle of whiskey than many people make in a decade was a “good investment.” Yeah, until the bottle breaks during shipment. Mallya went on to say that the bottle rose in value by about $157,000 over the past ten years, so in another ten, the new owner can sell it and make a profit.It’s rare and it’s exclusive, but with such an expensive investment, you can bet it will never be consumed. In that case, what’s the point?
