Less than Two weeks later on November 15, Xi JinPing assumed power and became the new leader of China.
So, who is Xi JinPing, aka Xi?
China confirms leadership change
Well, what do people think about Xi?
So, now the election is over, no more bickering between political parties about the Big Bird or PBC, just cook and eat them on Thanksgiving.
Hurricane Sandy, the witchy b**** of the century.
Let's put all the jokes aside and try to do our best to help victims of Sandy to recover and rebuild their lives.

About DubaiDo you know what happens when you flush a toilet in the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa of Dubai?
We have seen many magnificent architectural designs in Dubai. But do you know none of them has been hooked up to a sewer system? Because Dubai doesn't have a central sewage infrastructure that can accommodate the needs of those modern skyscrapers. This is impossible, right? But. see for yourself:

You would imagine that those buildings that look amazingly beautiful were built on a well-planned system of utilities.
But, that's NOT TRUE!!
Because an unbelievable amount of sewage is generated daily by the new high-rises and there is no place to dispose of it. Because Dubai doesn't have a sewage system for all those big new buildings so they have to haul it all away in tank trucks. Look at the number of tank trucks that are waiting to dump their loads and they would wait for days for their turns to dump the loads. The job security for these truck drivers must be great.Actually, in the video, we are seeing the making of the 9th Wonder of the World, no, not another world's tallest building is being built but the robust new mobile sanitary system in Dubai.
SIGH, welcome to the mobile generation.
However the above clip did not say where did the stuff go after it was collected, trucked and dumped. I hate to think about it but have to wonder how Palm Jumeriah, Dubai's man made islands which were constructed by sea landfill and how they had acquired the materials----
YUCK!
DUH!
