Diktatorbingo

Jag valde att satsa på lågoddsare i vänster-höger-diagonalen, men Lukasjenko ställer förstås till det där (medan Castro obönhörligen kommer kola snart, mot döden hjälper inga nivåer av awesome). Vänster-höger-horisontella raden i mitten är också lågoddsare, utöver då Yahya Jammeh som inte lär ryka nån gång snart. Den översta horisonella linjen är högoddsarna, de här snubbarna kommer sitta i evighet, undantaget Khamenei som är uråldrig. Den näst understa horisontala raden är också högoddsare, featuring despoterna i Saudi, Syrien, Sudan och Laos.
Notera också hur det inte finns en enda kvinna bland världens auktoritära härskare. Betänk också att det finns demokratiskt valda statschefer som är betydligt mindre sympatiska än tillochmed många av de här snubbarna; vad säger det om världen?

Asians: A Case Study

A friend of mine, Alva actually, claim that she thinks grown-up asian women (at least those commonly seen on film and in photography) look like children. It occured to me that I should try to disprove that somewhat by a simple case study. Let's look at, for example, Zhou Xun, who might still be one of the most child-like adult humans currently alive:

Zhou Xun (grownup version):


Zhou Xun (child version):


While there's some similarites, the head-to-shoulders-ratio is vastly greater in the child version, the nose is flatter, the jawline rounder, and the cheeks more puffy. There's quite a difference here.

Also, while Li Xiaolu might be destined to look like sixteen 'til she's fifty, she has apparently lost some puppy fat after she became, y'know, grownup:

Li Xiaolu (teen version):


Li Xiaolu (adult version):


She actually seem to have lost way too much fat nowadays, but that's another issue entirely. And of course it's her problem and not mine, I'm not gonna judge anyone... I just found her hotter with curves :-/

I will now consider it scientifically proven that asian women does not look like children. At least not asian children. It's still possible that they might look like western children (I'm a fan of Gimbutas after all, and thus inclined toward very...liberal...interpretations of known facts), but I considered it improbable, as it seems I generally find asians attractive, but not children. Still, I guess I might be proven wrong. I'm not sure I would like the implications of that...
