SEOUL, South Korea—South Korea says it's strengthening customs inspections in a crackdown on the smuggling of Chinese-made capsules filled with powdered human flesh.
The state-run Korea Customs Service said Monday that since last August it has discovered 35 attempts to smuggle from China about 17,450 such capsules disguised as stamina-boosters.

Customs officials say the capsules were made from dead babies and infants in northeastern China, and that ethnic Koreans living there tried to smuggle them into South Korea.

The officials say some people believe the capsules are a panacea for disease, but an investigation shows they contain superbacteria and other harmful ingredients.

So there's a big public square just to the south of Edmonton's city Hall.  Called Churchill Square after the one and only Winston Churchill.

There must have been some big mining conference at the conference centre this weekend, because there was a bunch of mining equipment at Churchill Square.  I noticed it on Friday, and decided we should take Tiny Tim out there.

I know most little kids love big machines.  But man - he ran from mining truck to mining truck yelling "Big Tractor!!!" for over an hour.  He seemed to like the trucks where the wells were less than 10' in diamater - the even bigger ones were perhaps just too much for him to comprehend.

Heh, if I had my way, the Sea Shepard would have an SM1 launcher, above-deck torpedo tubes, and a CISW, just to be sure.
