Late Night Ignoring Asia

How should one smuggle gold into Korea?

Perhaps in coffee so they will think its cocain or as lead bars always a favorite.   Maybe as Faberge Eggs or a Leonardo invention meant to show your life in a golden sphere.

Yes I would like whiter skin

Cosmetics maker Kanebo said Tuesday more than 2,000 Japanese had complained about skin discolouring after using its whitening products, as it widened its consumer recall outside Japan.
The company also said it had agreed to pay medical costs for people in Japan who had been left with uneven colouring of their skin, even after they stopped using the products.

The poetry of terrorism

A poem written by an al Qaeda leader -- while serving sentence at the famous Guantanamo Bay prison – has found its way to the syllabus for third semester degree students of Calicut University in one of the worst educational howlers in the country, triggering a storm of protests in Kerala.
A section of teachers and students have demanded immediate withdrawal of the poem and sought an inquiry into it while the firebrand Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has threatened agitation over the issue.
The poem, ‘Ode to the Sea’, written by Ibrahim al-Rubaish, a former detainee of the Guantanamo Bay, is part of the text ‘Literature and Contemporary Issue Studies’ for third semester BA/BSc students. The anthology of poems includes works of such celebrated poets like Kamala Das, Pablo Neruda, Sylvia Path and others.
