quote:The Malaysian Government has unveiled a novel solution to an ongoing dispute with Singapore over road links between the two countries.
Singapore has been reluctant to agree to a new bridge over the strait that separates the two.
So Malaysia has announced that it will build half a bridge instead.
Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohammad told reporters the proposed bridge would be a little unusual.
That seems to be an understatement.
No shit.

This sort of thing gives me hope for humanity.
I'm serious. Collectively, our greatest talent is for absurdity, yes? So there's good absurdity (half-a-bridge), and bad absurdity (examples of which will occur to you). Hard to say where the balance lies, but stuff like this can only help push it in the right way.
