Still, as far as his decision to halt &#8220;new town&#8221; construction, all I can say is well done, sir. Well done. If you&#8217;re a developer, don&#8217;t fret, because there&#8217;s always the export [...]]]></description>

Thought this line was funny: More male students (4.5 percent) than female students (2.5 percent) said they had sex, a common but baffling result of such surveys. All joking aside, the numbers are still [...]]]></description>
