AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo
Who knew that Taiwan manufactured its own jet fighters?
From Wiki:
- Named after Chiang Ching-Kuo, Chiang Kai-Shek's son and successor.
- Produced from 1994 to 1999; all 130 jets still in service.
- Created because U.S., under pressure from China, would not sell F-20s and F-16s to Taiwan.
- Designed and built with help from American defense contractors.

Hunting for diecast cars on eBay
I re-arranged my 1/43 car collection this morning and decided to get some more cars. Maybe if I get these four cars, I will be satisfied and never want another car again!

1988 Olympics boycott
Putin kissing a fish, which I guess is still legal in Russia.
With Russia's recent anti-gay legislation, there is talk of boycotting the Winter Olympics there. I'm going to look up past Olympic boycotts (and their reasons).
The following countries boycotted the Seoul Olympics due to the host's conflict with North Korea: North Korea, Albania, Cuba, Madagascar(!), Seychelles(?!).
