WTF Wednesday- Weather Modification Office

BEIJING (AFP) - – Chinese meteorologists covered Beijing in snow Sunday after seeding clouds to bring winter weather to the capital in an effort to combat a lingering drought, state media reported.
The unusually early snow blanketed the capital from Sunday morning and kept falling for half the day, helped by temperatures as low as minus 2 Celsius (29 Fahrenheit) and strong winds from the north, Xinhua news agency reported.

Besides falling in the northeastern provinces of Liaoning and Jilin and the northern province of Hebei, the eastern port city of Tianjin also got its first snow of the autumn, the report said.

"We wont miss any opportunity of artificial precipitation since Beijing is suffering from the lingering drought," the report quoted Zhang Qiang, head of the Beijing Weather Modification Office, as saying.

Chinese meteorologists have for years sought to make rain by injecting special chemicals into clouds.

Although the technique often gets results, a drought in the north of the country has continued for over a decade.

Besides the snow, which the Beijing Evening News said was the earliest to hit the capital in 10 years, the cold weather and strong winds also delayed air travel from Beijing's Capital Airport, while interrupting passenger shipping services off the coast of Shandong province in the east, Xinhua said.

Gretchen Bartelt, expert wine drinker and shower singer had this to say about the winter weather occurrence: WTF?!

WTF Wednesday- Undies

I was staying in this hotel in Hangzhou. Instead of complimentary shampoo and soap, I had an array of items at my disposal, however, I had to pay for them.

Up for grabs? One size fits all panties! But don't worry guys, there are briefs for you as well. Instead of WTF, I am going to say WHO TF. WHO TF forgets their underwear and decides the best place to get a spare is in a hotel?! Apparently there is a market for this. So many people in this town forget their underwear that the hotel has spares readily on hand. WTF and WHO TF?!

I am not sure if you can see this little item either but in the back of the box is what's called a "business towel" for sale. WTF is a business towel? I can and then don't want to imagine.



This little box of goodies says "uncomplimentary" on it. Hilarious. Damn it- I thought the hotel was just giving away panties. My loss I guess.
