The Shanghai aquarium says its sharks are getting too fat. So they came up with some unorthodox measures to let them loose some weight. First of all the sharks are too lazy, they lay around at the bottom of the fish tank the whole day instead of swimming around. Therefore divers in spiderman suits will excite them a bit so they will start swimming. Furthermore they will start feeding the sharks cabbage... I am not a biologist, but are they sure sharks can eat vegetables? What might be good for humans is not necessarily good for sharks. I am glad I won[base ']t be the diver in the spiderman suit after the sharks start their vegetable diet!

No updates for the past couple of days, because I was on a biz trip to Beijing which did not give me much time to go online (and I only had dial-up!). Trip was very successful, and included among others  a lunch with minister of SARFT (State Admin. of Radio, TV and Film) in Great Hall of the People. Because all business concepts we developed over the past months are really starting to take off there is less and less private time, but even with less time available I will keep updating this blog.
