I know I had a panda bookmark a little while ago, but this is one that my friends just brought me back from China and I wanted to post it right away. It has a ruler on one side because you never know when you might want to underline something. Not that I would ever do that. The little pendant is bamboo so that the panda will have something to eat. Or at least that’s what I was told.

Does reading count as work or play? I don’t think Charmain Meow reads much.

Depends.
On whether you’re worried about blogging about it. And I suspect the Chairman can blog even less than he reads 😀

I’ve been reading more and worrying about blogging less. So I think my reading counts as play.

Now on to the serious business.
Do pandas make for good eatings?

Not according to the Internetz:
“from a practical perspective, panda meat is not suitable for human consumption. Pandas have a unique digestive system and primarily eat bamboo, which means their meat is likely to have a taste and texture that is unappealing to human palates. Additionally, pandas could potentially carry diseases, viruses, or parasites, which might pose health risks if consumed. Eating panda meat could expose individuals to pathogens that could be harmful or even life-threatening, further discouraging any notion of consumption.”

Whoops! That was a typo. I’ll fix that. I meant to say worrying about blogging “less.”
I’m saving the best China bookmark for last! They are good friends.
