Never on Sunday (as sung by the PLA's Maj-Gen Luo Yuan)

This optical-illusion poser was in The Sunday Times (May 26):


What do you see? It seems pretty obvious to me but I won't say more till later. How about this one?...

On a more serious note, I'm glad The Sunday Times carried this interview with Workers' Party chief Low Thia Khiang ("Low: I harbour no ambition to be PM"). He is arguably the most sensible -- and shrewdest -- Opposition politician, and he has shown that he can take on any PAP leader who crossed swords with him:

Another Sunday Times interview -- this one with geneticist Edison Liu -- makes fascinating reading too. Imagine, three million lab mice are shipped to 20,000 laboratories in 55 countries each year!...

I had earlier blogged about Japanese mayor Toru Hashimoto stirring up shit (oh, oh, the "typo-bleeper" is asleep on the job!). Now it's the turn of the hawks among the senior military officers in China's armed forces:





This last joker's remarks really take the cake. Maybe this baby boomer was thinking of an old 1962 song by the Chordettes, but deviously twisting it this way:

Never on Sunday

Oh, we can bomb you on a Monday a Monday
a Monday is very very good
And we can bomb you on a Tuesday a Tuesday a Tuesday
in fact I wish we would
And we can bomb you on a Wednesday a Thursday a
Friday and Saturday is best
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday a Sunday
'cause that's my day of rest

I was in church, and a totally peaceable hymn -- one of my favourites -- was sung:


 Here is a very soothing (Visual Worship!) rendition on YouTube:

Finally, the two optical-illusion posers were from an ad. You can even win movie ticket prizes...
