News.com.au has a strange story about practices in Saudi Arabia, specifically in regard to sale of clothing. There has just been a decree that all womens aparel MUST be sold by WOMEN, in order to maximise the job oportunities for Saudi women. This is probably a good idea, but I think that the real reason has to do with Islamic law where there is significant segregation between men and women. What is more interesting is that no clothing shops have any change rooms to try on clothing at all.

This is cool… A drawing of a new cruise ship and it took something like 750 hours to draw. That is quite amazing. There is so much detail in the drawing, and to recognise that it was done before the ship even existed is quite amazing. More soon
