the good, the bad, the exorbitant

Good news: Exceptional amount of sunshine and hardly any rain in January--in Belgium!

Bad news: James Hansen's (NASA) annual global temperature analysis showed that 2005 was the hottest year since records started being kept in the late 1800s. Also worrisome: NASA doesn't want him talking freely about global warming.

Bad news: Brussels is the twenty-first most expensive city in the world to live in.

Good news: New York is cheaper than Brussels.

In other news, Belgian soccer is manipulated by the Chinese mafia! Witnesses fear for their lives. Also, Belgians apparently don't mind mind being photographed en masse dressed in nothing but chocolate.
