Potpourri VI

From the global news feed:

Dateline - Xingtang County, China- Two competing construction companies were after the same project and instead of flipping a coin like gentlemen they decided to duke it out on the street using front-end loaders "with their buckets held high like the horns of battling beetles the two machines repeatedly slam into each other." Another joins the fray. A few knives and pellet guns appeared - a veritable Caterpillar vs. Komatsu. Our union strife is tame by comparison.

Dateline - Dubai, U.A.E - The first calf to come from a cloned camel was born at a research center here in November. They didn't say whether it was one hump or two.
