Actually, I believe these types of concrete problems appeared in the new US Embassy in Iraq, IIRC. That was, supposedly a bid contract, but it went to a contractor in Kuwait. Also, IIRC, that's against US law.

That next to last one look like a fualt, right down the middle of the dam. Yes, but whose fault is it?”

If it is a fault line, then the fault is Gods.

Oops, Gaia did it!

“There goes our cement. We should double the price of our cement and stop buying their products. A perfect time to set them back 100 years in their quest of becoming a world power.

During the civil war they called you a carpetbagger. Who would think that someone would be so unashamed as to publicly announce it.”

I have to call both Bravo Sierra and announce one of you may be a piker.

After Hurricane Andrew, our lil Bronze Brothers in Mexico quadrupled the price of their lemons and limes

I would definitely agree with you, too. Major hotels and office towers are controlled by Chinese and non-Chinese high quality construction management teams. No worries. In the earthquake devastation area, a Chinese government demonstration building survived intact but other buildings constructed later collapsed. The provincial contractors probably used less and low quality rebar, substandard untested concrete, and poor workmanship. Building Codes were likely nonexistent, unenforced, or bribed to go away.

Oh, your mother never taught you two wrongs don’t make a right.

Actually, I have heard it said that two Wongs do not make a white. As in:

(Quote)
Su Wong marries Lee Wong.

The next year, the Wongs have a new baby.

The nurse brings over a lovely, healthy, bouncy, but definitely a Caucasian, WHITE baby boy.

‘Congratulations,’ says the nurse to the new parents. ‘Well Mr. Wong, what will you and Mrs. Wong name the baby?’

The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says,

‘Well, two Wong’s don’t make a white, so I think we will name him...

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be on or off of the list.

(This can be a high volume ping list.)

Funny.

Speaking of Wong, this is true. The Chinese pilot that turned he jet the wrong way and hit the U.S. spy plane, his name was wong wei. “Wei” is pronouced “way” in Chinese.

There was also something wrong when two friends who had been trying for years to have a baby finally found themselves with child - half black and half white. They were both white.

Obviously someone had been fooling around. The story is even more sad in that the discovery was not made until the moment the baby was born.
