Got curious, considering Nepalese and Bhutanese food are closer to Indian than chinese, and the first line in wikipedia:

Tibetan cuisine, is quite distinct from that of its neighbours, since only a few crops (not including rice) grow at such high altitude.

You can't make us take the Palins! We won't do it.

Some great action photos.

NPR had a story this morning about Noriega, and mentioned that among the pop songs blasted to drive Noriega out of his compound, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was included.

Welcome to the Jungle was also very popular. Why, yes, I was in Panama during the "incursion"
