In order to raise awareness of the dangers of smoking (or to make cigarettes look even cooler — we’re not sure which) a group of five students at Xi’an University in China have built an all-electric Bugatti Veyron entirely out of old cigarette boxes.

I and, I believe, most scholars who have studied this issue feel that Pakistan has the stronger case. [...]

An upsurge in killings threatens to ignite the southwestern tinder box, with possible consequences for neighbouring Iran and Afghanistan, and heavyweight allies China and [...]
