Just a bunch of things I think are interesting or funny.

See, Americans aren't the only insensitive ones.

In business timing is everything. So to cash in on the biggest tragedy to hit Thailand in recent years, some businessmen are planning a tsunami themed amusement park. Click here for story.

The story in part states:

Speaking on behalf of the Thai Prime Minister, Tourism Authority of Thailand Governor Juthamas Siriwan yesterday told an international delegation about large-scale plans to remarket the region to foreign and local tourists.
"It would firstly educate everyone who comes to Phuket to make them aware of how these kinds of things happen," Ms Siriwan told reporters at a conference on the island.
"And at the same time, because tourism is an enjoyable product, we would also ... like to (use technology) to make the museum more attractive and interesting by making a simulation of a tidal wave.
"I talked to the architect and they say they are going to make something like that so maybe this will be the next Universal Studios of the tsunamis in Khao Lak."

A simulated tidal wave? Will the park have a flume?
