Thousands dead, but lets focus on what's really important



Undoubtedly by now you have heard about this huge earthquake in China. Whatever, they got like a billion people. They'll probably be ok. Except for the thousands dead and injured. Hopefully they were mostly women. Get it? Cause the Chineses are known to go for infanticide in regards to female babies. Inappropriate.

No the real news, at least in regards to this blog, is of course pandas.

CHENGDU, China (AP) -- All the pandas at the world's most famous panda preserve were reported safe late Tuesday, more than a day after China's worst earthquake in three decades closed off the remote, mountainous area.

The Wolong National Nature Reserve and panda breeding center is the only place in the world where the rare animals can be seen in such large numbers. But Chinese officials and zoo officials overseas had worried about the fate of the center's 86 pandas since Monday's devastating earthquake rattled nearby areas in central Sichuan province.

Late Tuesday, officials at Wolong used a satellite phone to contact the State Forestry Administration and report that the pandas were safe, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It said all panda cubs had been taken to safety.


I know I'm resting easy now knowing that the panda cubs have been taken to safety.
