Why? Check this out.

The 2.3-square-km Longshuihu village in the Shuangqiao district of Chongqing municipality, also known as "women's town," was based on the local traditional concept of "women rule and men obey," a tourism official told Reuters.

"Traditional women dominate and men have to be obedient in the areas of Sichuan province and Chongqing, and now we are using it as an idea to attract tourists and boost tourism," the official, surname Li, said by telephone.

"We welcome investors from overseas and nationwide to invest in our project," he added. The motto of the new town would be "women never make mistakes, and men can never refuse women's requests," Chinese media have reported.

When tour groups enter the town, female tourists would play the dominant role when shopping or choosing a place to stay, and a disobedient man would be punished by "kneeling on an uneven board" or washing dishes in restaurant, media reports said.

How awesome is that? Women rule and men obey.

I also want to point out the modification to my template, which I did myself. To your left toward the bottom of the sidebar, you will see two buttons. One is pink and black and reads Blogroll. The other is purple and reads Thursday 13. When you click those buttons, the blogroll for each appears. The first is my personal blogroll. Just say something in comments if you want me to add you, or you can drop me an email. The other is the TT blogroll, which I'm told I have to display somewhere on my blog. Since both blogrolls were long and ran all the way down to the bottom, I changed the template to make them expand and collapse. So if you're wondering where my blogroll went or what's with the buttons, there you have it.

That's enough for Odd Friday, I think. Have a great weekend, everyone.
