I like this topic. There are at least 20 mm Muslims in China, ranking number 10, maybe. So looking at "Islam in Switzerland" and linking to some other countries, one finds that there are ~4% Muslims in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark and presumably Luxembourg and Lichtenstein.

The German speaking cantons in Switzerland had the greatest proportion of Muslim, mostly in industrial areas.

Germany ranks ahead of Oman, Kuwait, Lebanon and UAE, in census of Muslim faith.

I've been reading Miss Carnivourous' blog. It's pretty good.

i don't see this as a reason to hate the opera, per se. rather, i see it as an example of censorship, which we should hate, right?

Speaking of which.

I like choice (1)(and certainly the Donkey should be the protaganist) but maybe throw in some Jerry Reed (Eastbound and Down) and some Waylons (Good Ole Boys) with a Mellencamp vibe (Jack and Diane)

It should be be soothing like a Gregorian chant, but yet angry like Mustaine at the same time.

Besides that...We trust your artistic judgement.

...or maybe something simple like an angrier version of the theme to Waynes World (filmed in Aurora, Illinois)

Party On!

Xinhuanet had a science article last week; Chinese scientists have discovered that auroras are formed in a heretofore unknown manner, involving "bursty bulk flows":

BEIJING, Sept. 8 2006 (Xinhua) -- Chinese space scientists, working with American and European colleagues, have revealed the origin of the brilliant auroras - often referred to as "northern lights" or "southern lights" - seen at night.

Cao Jinbin, a researcher with the Center for Space and Applied Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was closely involved in the research, said that people previously believed auroras were caused by solar winds.

Using data collected from four satellites, scientists were able to overturn this view.

"We have found that auroras caused by solar winds are very weak and can scarcely be seen with the naked eye. The splendid and colorful auroras we see are actually caused by magnetic substorms," Cao said.

By studying the data collected by the Cluster satellites of European Space Agency (ESA), scientists found that high-speed flows of electrified gas, known as bursty bulk flows (BBFs), are generated by magnetic substorms.

Auroras are caused mostly by energetic BBFs spiraling down Earth's magnetic field lines and colliding with atmospheric atoms at about 100 kilometers altitude....

...Scientists were able to discover how the process works by using the four Cluster spacecraft, nicknamed Rumba, Samba, Salsa and Tango, launched in 2000...
