John Adams Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The city is said to be guarded by two blond women, who keep men from scaling the ramparts of its medieval castle. Claes Bertilsen of the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions seems to think that anyone who has been inclined to swallow this tale might have been smoking rather wacko tobacco. You see, the Local quotes the Chinese news service Harbin News as declaring that many of Chako Paul's inhabitants turned to homosexuality "because they could not suppress their sexual needs." There is also the quite colorful suggestion that most of the inhabitants are employed in forestry (no, never) and that many have, according to the Xinhua news agency, a "thick waist belt full of woodworking equipment." The culture gap between East and West is maybe not as great as I thought. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10370556...ag=2547-1_3-0-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
