    On a related note, all dead Chinese government officials will from now one be eternally reincarnated as earthworms. Karma, donchaknow?

    Newthink? Or doublespeak?

    I hope a monk comes back as a big turd on the desk of the head of the state administration for religious affairs.

    That was my first thought as well when I saw it on Slashdot --- that some naive Slashdotter had been taken in by The Onion and was about to get hammered in replies. I was wrong.

    Real life --- stranger than The Onion.
