Quite often I think of some very random questions in my mind, and wonder such things as "What is the average lifespan of a squirrel?" - which is 6 by the way, but some live until 10.
Last night I asked Mike whether or not people living in Tibet would wear flip flops. He proceeded to give a thoughtful and scholarly answer to this burning question.
"There once was a guy who lived in Tibet named Chow Yong Meng. Chow Yong Meng liked the looks of the flip flops he saw online, so he ordered a pair from flipflop.com. They were all he dreamed they would be and more. He loved the way the fabric felt between his toes.
But someone else was also attracted by his flip flops. The Yeti loved the bright color and the sound of Chow Yong Meng's sandals - flip,flop,flip,flop. The Yeti began stalking and chasing Chow Yong Meng in order to have the flip flops for himself. Chow Yong Meng found it difficult to outrun the Yeti in his new flip flops, which while fashionable were not exactly functional for running away from Yetis in the snow. Chow Yong Meng could not outrun the Yeti anymore, and soon met his demise.
And so people in Tibet wear boots and not flip flops, but somewhere there is a very stylish Yeti with his very own pair."

good to know....
If you would have done just a smidge of research you would know that the guys real name is Chow Ying Hu.
As for the flipflops if you were really curious use google images to search for tibetan monks and look at their feet. I'm guessing they aren't wearing boots but their foot wear mat be closer to Sandals than flip flops. Ahh crap - now I'm curious. Off to google images I go.
