I wasn’t paying attention to much last month when the news came out that China had banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. The goal of the law, of course, is to make it easier for China to anoint the next Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama, in response, issued a statement saying that he won’t reincarnate in Tibet.

A german legislator has proposed to have marriages last only 7 years, arguing that most marriages break up anyway and that this would eliminate the problems of going through a divorce. Alas, all she’s gotten so far are criticisms and even members of her own party have recommended that she undergo psychiatric treatment.
I wonder, if marriage only lasted for 7 years, who would go through the trouble of getting married again?
The penguins have moved from the Magellan Straight to Punta Tombo, in Argentina, and this weekend only (so today only) you can see them live online.
