Child Abuse? Nah, more like testing the limits of an 8 year old body.

To infinity and beyond!
Hi folks. Sorry for my one day hiatus, I had other things on my mind. Other things being sleep and food and NOT in that order (a la fat kid). Anyways you know who isn't a fat kid??? This eight year old girl featured in this photo: She seems normal, as she's just you know like cruising on some form of rapid transit somewhere in the vast nation of China. Her story becomes slightly more complicated when you find out that she's recently completed a 3560 km run from her home province of Hainan to Beijing. This article in the Globe and Mail goes on to accuse her father of child abuse. The father defends himself by claiming the run was in celebration of the 2008 Olympics, and that his daughter "loves running." I don't know guys....this is a toughie. I'm not sure if I would go so far as to call it child abuse....more like molding your child to avoid the growing problem of obesity. I mean I've seen other pictures of this freak of a child and she was indeed grinning. And in the picture above she seems absolutely fascinated by the kaleidescope - her red star (hahah commie pun!) for running no less than a marathon and a half per day. So with my solid background in math I've just put two and two together and have reached the conclusion that its completely normal AND acceptable to do this to a child. Hear that future Parsons spawn??? You get a high five if you run from Vancity to Halifax, and I'll even throw in my wee bro's old collection of Big Lego if you swim across the Atlantic.

In related news, to avoid rain clouds during the coming Summer Olympics scientists have invented some sort chemical that when shot up into the sky will cause rain clouds to disippate. I think its safe to say that weather can now be checked off of the things China has defeated.

In unrelated news, here's a pic of giraffes making out...
