As far as I'm concerned Paul Kantner has like totally destroyed the Jefferson Starship name. He's let it go on and morph into something that's almost an insult to the memory of the Airplane. BTW, Phil will be in Pittsburgh 4/25 - pollstar.com

Chef Finds New Fame As Rat Exterminator dailynews.yahoo.com Thursday March 22 12:02 PM ET HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong chef has found new fame trampling rats in his restaurant as nimbly as he dishes up food in the kitchen. The chef, identified only as ``Uncle Kai'' by the Apple Daily newspaper, killed 60 rats in the last six days since joining a new restaurant in Kowloon. Kai killed nearly 200 rats in the eatery where he worked last year, winning him the nickname ``the anti-rat king,'' the newspaper reported on Thursday. The chef, from China's Sichuan province, begins his killing spree before dawn each morning. Donning rubber boots and gloves, he blocks off a section of the restaurant where the rodents hide, leaving only one exit. He then scares them out and crushes them underfoot as they try to escape. Hong Kong, which bills itself as Asia's best place to shop and eat, has had a long-standing anti-rodent campaign. ``The rat problem has become more serious in Kowloon recently,'' said a spokesman at the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, adding the department had not decided whether to take action against Kai's restaurant. ``Rats are a problem, but actual hygiene is another issue.'' The government says 57,639 rats were killed in Hong Kong in 2000, up from 54,688 in 1999.
