		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t make light of this folks!  This sophisticated sorceress of polyester tunics and sequined stretch capris is more than a granny before her time!  That&#8217;s right ladies and gentlemen, this here happy momma has more surprises than a Magic Marker and more class than an Asian high school student! 
You may have a difficult time seeing clearly (as she prefers to travel in a thin, flattering veil of grit) but dangling from her ears are the only known successful creations of alchemy &#8211; tubular nuggets of pure 24 <em>carrot</em> gold.  Inches from her rear you&#8217;ll discover the laboratory &#8211; an ordinary child by appearance but a tyrant in reality.  Without  even so much as an inkling of his own importance h&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere far from the ancient city wall, beyond the outskirts and ghettos and ghost towns, myth tells us of a magnificent metropolis of liquid delight.  No foreign eye has ever beheld its interior, though a few claim to have reached its outer wall.  There, it is said, the air is so dense from the evaporation of the spirits which flow throughout its intricate canals that no mortal can breach its gates without first plunging into a drunken stupor.
Liquor City, as it is commonly called, has many possible histories.  Some insist it was built by a little known emperor in the 7th century, who dreamed of replacing the Yangtze with a more useful fluid.  Others say it is was originally a factory built to produce the world&#8217;&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[As you fine, intelligent people are all aware, for millennia the land of the Great Wall, Gunpowder and <a href="http://thisridiculousworld.com/china/the-first-modern-wonder-of-the-world-16022009/" target="_blank">The Floating Hat</a> has been miles ahead of the competition.  Now folks, don&#8217;t panic! but kindly lift your chin upwards from the folds of your neck &#8211; I&#8217;d advise you keep your mouth from gaping as the side effects of this new wonder are yet to be determined &#8211; you&#8217;ll see that China is now also in fact miles above the competition!  Yes sir-oo, this Wonder of the Modern World is the stuff that history (and science) books are made of: China has managed to completely alter the color of the sky.
Here in the land of the future it is not uncommon to hear a small child ask an elder, &#8220;Why is the sky gra&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Here it is folks, the most recent Wonder of the World.  The man with the floating hat.  Watch as he struts along, the hat bobbing four solid feet above his head in mid air.  &#8220;Trickery!&#8221; you may say &#8211; or worse, &#8220;Impossible.&#8221;
Well folks, I can guarantee, five hundred percent, that this here man and his giant hat are as real as <span style="font-style: italic;">gou rou</span>, as truthful as the number four.
Let&#8217;s assume for propriety&#8217;s sake that this is a trick of magic, that this man and this giant <span style="font-style: italic;">niuzaimao</span> are unacquainted.  This hat is away on private business.  But what business could a cowboy hat possibly have flying around by itself in Shanghai&#8217;s French Quarter?  Everyone knows that&#8217;s a dangerous pa&#8230;
