Read here in the Atlanta paper that the state's 2 largest universities, U.of GA and GA Tech ,will be offering more classes focusing on - China. Language courses as well as cultural and other aspects will be offered to students as the importance of China increases on the world stage.

500 years in the future might come sooner than we think!

Yeah, thanks. I cracked up the 1st time I heard it, it's SO Wash. The obvious one to use was after Kaylee asked if the Captain seemed funny to him this morning at breakfast, and Wash replies " Everyone knows I'm the funny one" .

I wonder if they'll teach swearing?

It makes sense though, since more people speak Mandarin than there are speakers of English. I'd love to learn Mandarin myself, although after my dismal performance trying to learn French I should probably rethink that...

GaTech already has a study abroad program in Beijing and one the schools official goals is to get atleast half the student body to do some sort of study abroad. Offering Chinese is a way to further that goal.

Joss's vision might not be that far off. Hopefully we don't use up the earth though, its got some sentimental value,
