Piracy Dino-Tracker

We here at Dino have seen the disturbing upward trend in piracy this fall. We are also aware of our constituency’s deep concern about this issue. You may be asking yourself, where is that 20-ton shipment of short-shorts I ordered? How come my Saudi crude oil hasn’t arrived yet? And our Dino-Staff is committed to bringing you answers to these questions.

That is why we are introducing the Piracy Dino-Tracker, so you can get all of your maritime hijacking related news in one condensed post. Check out this week’s entries:

• Pirates Seize 7 Ships in 12 Days

• Indian Navy Sinks Pirate Ship

Holy Shit, India

Hello my adoring and multitudinous fans!

I have been traveling since mid-June. I spent two weeks visiting Bejing, Seoul, and Singapore (and Hong Kong for just long enough to get dim-sum and a Frappuccino). For the entirety of July, however, I have been in India. And it is best summed up in the eponymous title above.

Yes, I have gotten sick at least once a week since coming here, and no I have not been blown to smithereens by terrorists.

I have been rather preoccupied with issues of survival and jumping through the flaming hoops of India’s legendary bureaucracy. I’ve been here a month and only now have I finally arrived in Bangalore to find a place to call home–or The Batcave, because that sounds super badass.

Updates will be forthcoming.

xoxo,

I can’t wait to go to India

An Indian business school has named a monkey god the official chairman of the school.

I guess Wharton’s reputation is safe for now.

Says the article:

“The position comes with an incense-filled office, a desk and a laptop computer. Four chairs will be placed facing the empty seat reserved for the chairman and all visitors must enter the office barefoot, said Vivek Kangdi, the school’s vice chairman.”

One can only hope they gave the monkey god a MacBook Pro.

Anyhoo, yours truly, the enigmatic and laconic third wheel of this blogging endeavor, is indeed off to India where he shall be spending the next two years working as an overseas recruit for Mahindra & Mahindra, an Indian conglomerate.
