Out of the mouths of babes and.....

...... Chinese academics.......


I've been editing another beastly-boring "scholarly" paper on international relations today. Only the occasionally amusing infelicities of the language made the 6-hour ordeal survivable.

My absolute favourite was the discovery that there was held in Russia a few years ago a symposium on 'The Economics of the Post-Industrious Society'.


Of course, I'm peeved that I wasn't invited to be a keynote speaker......
