What is Grass Mud Horse?

“草泥马” is a Internet meme created by angry netizen, furious at current boring state of censored China Internet. The censored is aim at pornography. However, because of the ‘very intelligent’ filter, every thing that got flesh also kena blocked.

Hence the meme, Grass Mud Horse is Chinese vulgar equivalent to *ahem*, asking how’s your mother. Pardon me.

Here is the news(Link). NYT News here(Link). For whatever is worth, I hope there isn’t such horse.

Evolution ‘accidently’ left God believing brain cell in us.

Scientists from National Institutes of Health did a study to understand where in the brain religious beliefs seem to be modulated. Their findings, whether culturally adapted or just plain coincidence, there is a region in our brain that response to belief’s stimulant. Snip,

“ Statements based on God's involvement — such as "God protects one's life" or "Life has no higher purpose" — provoked activity in brain regions associated with understanding intent. Statements of God's emotions — such as "God is forgiving" or "the afterlife will be punishing" — stimulated regions responsible for classifying emotions and relating observed actions to oneself. Knowledge-based statements, such as "a source of creation exists" or "religions provide moral guidance," activated linguistic processing centers.”

Does this means, for maybe, a thousand generations, if every single person in the family denied the existence of God, that brain cell will disappear? Just like the Appendix? No wonder human is losing hair.

Frankly said, I haven’t read the book. According to The Economist, Ayn Rand Altas Shrug has recently made a come back during this bad time. Snip,

“Whenever governments intervene in the market, in short, readers rush to buy Rand’s book. Why? The reason is explained by the name of a recently formed group on Facebook, the world’s biggest social-networking site: “Read the news today? It’s like ‘Atlas Shrugged’ is happening in real life”.

The Bubble bearer in thy home, 泡沫圣经记。

Ruth recently develops a very unusual fondness in Bible. She runs with the little book around the house whole day, never neglecting even during intense play. She asked me on many nights to read those tiny words, and she sleeps with it.

It begins to worry me a little. I mean, who can interpret the scripture correctly?

Up to date, I have never told a single verse to her. Maybe is our helper. Maybe is her brother, who is really fond of the children Bible. I guess it is now inevitable that I start reading to her.

芊芊最近爱上了圣经。她整天抱着那本小书东奔西跑，在玩得最起劲时，也书不离手。每每临睡前，轻拉我的裤脚，要求我读给她听。我都选了我最爱地创世记，像诉说遥远的故事般吟唱着，直到她眼睛轻轻眯上，呼吸缓长的进入梦乡。

创天地的壮举，是她的安眠曲。

我细细咀嚼残留在脑海里的音符，抽丝剥茧，企图唤醒不知在哪里沉睡了已久的小巨人。思绪有如湿了的火石，怎么也打不亮，心情也一团乱。

自史以来，谁能把圣经完整，正确的翻译过来？

曾为基督徒的我，从没向我孩子们谈上一字半句经里的典故，更不削谈论任何宗教的事。难道神鬼之说，当真有它的道理。不过如此看来，即然她喜欢，我也乐得开始为她们讲解。

不过这一次，是以我自己的方式。

Short animation of man tries to get out of Gaza

Closed Zone is a sprightly little cartoon which offers no joy to those who watch it. A man, or is he a boy, in his desperation to find a way out, discovered exit doesn’t exist in this war zone. Even the bird was not spare.

A polite little note for you

For surfer who flagged my Blog, this poster is for you. I cannot, and refuse to help if you lust against opposite sex. However, I would not object if you search for pornography online. You will not find them here.

Free Will is not, you think, do anything you like and someone else bear the consequences.

‘Sexual’ oriented posts on this site are, to my best knowledge, in artistic form or meant to probe thoughts. If you sincerely tell me I got ‘bad’ taste I will accept them. I still think it is better for the young to find me than to find the real one.

There is a little link below says ‘Lamp Post’, it is for your to unleash your wrath on me. You can say whatever you like. I will not delete them, ever!

Yeah, about the above poster, there is a term for it. It’s call Reciprocal Base. In Chinese, 相对机准. Which means whatever you see, it is usually within. 

Thanks for reading.
