Thursday Think-tank

1 Surge in births takes our population to more than 7 million ... and who do we have to thank for this increase? Edison Chen Koon-hei and his pictures.

2 'French Spiderman' climbs Cheung Kong Center ... he's the only thing that's gone up in Central's financial offices lately.

3 Reports say Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe owns HK$40 million luxury home in Tai Po ... it seems he's keeping our economy afloat at the expense of Zimbabwe's.

4 Drinkers in Lan Kwai Fong to get free ride home ... if you're drunk enough, you might even get to wake up in somebody else's bed.

5 Watchdog chief suspicious of ICAC's professionalism ... illegal phone taps, destruction of evidence, disregard for authority - heck, that's the Bush administration.'
