The fate of the Nail House.



I seem to recall reading about similar situations that happened in New York in the sixties. Of course, in China the judiciary and the rule of law are weaker - but in this case they seem to have prevailed.

Here are more nail houses.

Australian mega-brothel scotched

Sydney's city council has voted down plans for a mega-brothel featuring rooms with multiple beds and pool tables, likening the development to a super-sized shopping mall that would threaten competition.

The proposed Aus$12 million (US$12.2 million) extension to the "Stiletto" premises in Sydney's Camperdown, doubling its working rooms to 40 and creating a wing for group bookings, would have made it Australia's biggest brothel.

But city councillors rejected the application at a meeting Monday night, saying it was too ambitious and would threaten other brothels in the area.

"This brothel is the Westfield of brothels," said councillor Shayne Mallard, referring to Australia's largest shopping mall chain.

Ten beers, an idiot and a Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca equal disaster
A Wisconsin man decided to flex his newly-acquired beer muscles by testing his newly-acquired track-ready Mustang on a local street. He lost control, clobbered a Jeep Grand Cherokee and caromed into a tree. He probably thought he was taking the Zanardi line down the corkscrew.
