The list of favorite quotes just keeps growing but this last one just sums up China too perfectly.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 
           – Albert Einstein

A perfect example of this, I was lounging on my couch observing the neighbors across the way. It was warm and breezy and many people had hung out their bedding to air and dry. One such neighbor threw a sheet over the railing and then returned to her dorm. Within a min or two the breeze caught the sheet and deposited it on the ground, the positive side was it landed in the hallway and not over the railing three floors down. She returned to the sheet, threw it over the railing once more and returned to her dorm. Within mins once again the sheet fell. No joke this dance repeated itself thrice more. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, if you do the SAME thing the SAME result will take place. The funniest part was the sheet next to this one was having NO problems as the owner had ingeniously used the rail to his advantage by looping the sheet around it not just over it.
