Hulk fish and lottery

For a gambling junkie like myself, this job has some strange satisfactions. Every morning I come in, sit down, and see which emails or telephone messages have hit their mark. I'd say I've a hit rate of 1 in 6. That is, one in six people who I try to contact will ever get back to me, or have provided me with the right email address or phone number.

My newest impossible task is to find a telephone number to the Chinese ministry for science and technology. I think it's a lost cause. My only hope now is that the embassy will at least deliver SOMETHING.

Paul in Sales told me today about this fish that lives in the Amazon. It's a carnivore, but not a shark, can grow up to 13 foot and when the Amazon floods it will headbutt the swamped trees to knock down monkeys and eat them. Poor little monkeys. But clever fish! Check out a photo of this mighty pissed-off pike:

I like a challenge ... I'm sure you've seen these already but in case you haven't, here's two websites with possible numbers for the Chinese ministry of Science and Technology.
APCTT and CISTC
