The best reason I could think is than a costume is much associated with either uniform or a role and the sundress don't fit in either.

But a sundress is a uniform! Its a symbol of purity!

Bradley Manning: 'I want to be a woman'

Wait? Manning is Transgendered? I did not expect that.

For me he needs to be in a psychiatrict ward rather than being in a prison. Still locked and tied up of course.

I always fantasize about time leaping two decades in the past, because as a stupid brat I could not appreciate fine things in life like having a girlfriend in sailor uniform. I'd never ditch my ex if I could go back to being 14 again.

You're not referring to the times that you guys met up, are you?

Excuse me, those are OUT OF THE QUESTION. I prefer to be on top, and I will NEVER have a fujoshi for a girlfriend. Thank you.

You need to broaden your horizons. Mankind has always progressed via those who made the impossible possible! Besides being taken care of is absolutely wonderful!

One million cockroaches flee China farm

Dafeng, Jiangsu (Aug 25): At least one million cockroaches have escaped a farm in China where they were being bred for use in traditional medicine, a report said.

The cockroaches fled the facility in Dafeng, in the eastern province of Jiangsu, for surrounding cornfields earlier this month after an "unknown perpetrator" destroyed the plastic greenhouse where they were raised, the Modern Express newspaper said.

Farm owner Wang Pengsheng invested more than 100,000 yuan (US$16,000) in 102kg of Periplaneta americana eggs after spending six months developing a business plan, the report Friday said.

The cockroach is generally considered a pest, but believers in traditional Chinese medicine — which uses both plants and animals, including endangered species — say extracts from it can treat diseases including cancer, reduce inflammation and improve immunity.

By the time the greenhouse was damaged, more than 1.5 million cockroaches had hatched and were being fed food including "fruits and biscuits" every day, Wang was quoted as saying.

He had expected to make around 1,000 yuan profit for every kilogram of cockroaches sold, according to the report, but was now facing losses of hundreds of thousands of yuan.

It already sounds like a summer blockbuster in the making.
