My bad! But as the Orientals say, Nine in the fifth place means: The influence shows itself in the back of the neck. No remorse. Six at the top means: The influence shows itself in the jaws, cheeks, and tongue.

I like this better and it is good for the Shirtless 18-22 year old demographic, for whom finding jobs has been very difficult in the West, owing to the decrease of domestic pools after the 2008 banking crisis.

They might also put terracotta statues of shirtless poolboys in the pool then fill it in. For the afterlife, you see.

This poster is great. 1.83 million signatures who were against Occupy Central, please vote on September 4! So that's around 85% of the 2.20 million votes. They didn't get 85% of the seats Here's the results by SCMP http://multimedia.scmp.com/counting-room/ caberham fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Sep 6, 2016 |

I don't know how to interpret the three party affiliations the site states- or perhaps I'm just afraid to.

I too believe in divination by throwing sticks. If I bean my boss with an oak branch, the branch will predict that I won't have a job the next day.

I'm still a fan of carving questions onto a turtle shell and burning it and seeing how it cracks. It does tend to annoy the turtles though.

You can read the South China Morning Post comments to see some good quotes from people calling Eddie Chu a pussy for being afraid of credible death threats.

sincx posted:Heard on my last trip to China (from a Chinese person who would know this): apparently some NB PLAN special forces guy decided to go scuba diving in a freshwater lake. Unfamiliar with the equipment and the location, he nevertheless insisted on going down by himself (a monumentally stupid decision; the buddy rule is hammered in to you in every scuba training program). He was found dead in 6 meters of water with full tanks, drowned because he got disoriented after his regulator (mouthpiece) got loose and was unable to recover. And that, in a microcosm, is why China won't beat the US anytime soon. The US has loving idiots in its military too though?
