YAKS IN THE NEWS - Wednesday, May 26
Haven't seen any DU "yak" postings recently, so I thought I'd give our 4-legged hairy friends some more exposure:

According to the BBC:

"Yak farmers in the mountains of Nepal are using wireless internet technology to keep in touch with their families.
They are taking advantage of a wi-fi network set up in a remote region of the mountain kingdom where there are no phones or other means of communication."

See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3744075.stm

2. Christ!!!! Not another f'in Yak Thread!!
If we open the floogates now, what will become of us? Will we endure another "I'm Leaving DU For Good, And I'm Totally Serious This Time" thread? Or, worse yet, another "What Starts With An 'H' And Ends With An 'I' Thread"?

If newyawker99 or lazarus were here, they'd provide me a link to that graphic... ;-)
