'Lightsabres' injure Star Wars fans

"Mark Webb, 20, and an unnamed 17-year-old girl filled fluorescent light tubes with petrol to recreate the famous lightsabres and filmed their mock battle"

Petrol?!!?!

This site provides translations of all of the Chinese used in Firefly, organised by episode or phrase.

UPDATE : Hmmm, MT didn't like me pasting in that Chinese then! Try again....

精彩・精彩 (jing-tsai)

err...not much better. I'll give up on the Chinese.

I've been ill the last few days. You would think that it would be the perfect opportunity to do some reading, and perhaps make a dent in my ToRead pile (halfway through Gridlinked, Jonthan Strange and the Baroque Cycle ahead...). But no, I couldn't really concentrate on a book, or even on the web (shock!), being ill sucks. However I found a tonic that kept me happy. I watched all the episodes of Firefly that I hadn't seen, which was about the last half of the series. A full write up will be on its way soon.
