China lands probe on moon

Well bugger me!! The Chinese have
made a soft landing on the moon, the first in nearly 4 decades and that gives ‘em
a ticket to the rather strange cocktail party with the States and Russia. What
a funny old party that would be.
But if you just rely on the ‘Top
Ten Stories’ part of the online news, well I’m sorry to say that you might have
missed it.
Swans swimming, snow in Cairo and
some bloke falling down the escalators, these made the top 10, and so did a bit
of cow madness, coppers hitting someone and polar bears eating.
I guess the Chinese have every
right to be pissed that their news is not the favourite of the day.
I am left wondering though, who
in the cyber newsland decides what stories are the favourites, and how is it
possible for a story that doesn’t get much coverage to ever become popular.
Good on the Chinese I reckon. I
hope that everyone in China is pleased with the government spending all that
money in an attempt to become the man in the moon.
