marmots, vodka, and goat's milk

Mental notes made while reading the government of Mongolia's official webpage:
- The Mongolian President graduated from Refrigeration Junior College.
- Traditional sciences include astrology and astronomy.
- "Spring is the prosperous season of the year when everybody is calm and relaxed; grass turns green, anemones grow up and nature is covered with its green dress". Anemones grow up?
- Other than the "three manly games", shooting bones is a popular pasttime.
- Autumn is the time when "flies die".
- "In Mongolia the ratio of men to women is about 100".
- Things visitors should not carry when entering a Mongolian house: whip, hobble or weapon.
- Something about that font doesn't say "ministry of defense" to me.
- This WTO information page lost me somewhere around "Ooaaeaaaoae oieaiioie aeeaaa oooeu".
- The Mongolians have something called " subproject 'skin'".
- They have (outdated) information on the freakin' Twinkies Project! Even the Mongolians know!!
