Wack things in China

Taiwan: a land where one can freely talk about and enjoy fried rice without being attacked by Chinese nationalists!

Either this means we are winning—or the baseline standards of the neighbourhood are getting lower and lower. :neutral_face:

China: heal thyself!

According to comparitech

523

Why does Tokyo appear twice?

There is some trouble with that list . . .

524

Ant Taipei is somehow not on the list even though cameras are everywhere.

525

Yeah, something is amiss. I’m seeing a good number of repeats. After looking at various sources, it seems China remains at the top of any such list.

Well, on the plus side, I guess in Hyderabad I’d also get some banging biryanis. :neutral_face:

Your list is repeating from Johannesburg to Lagos…

528

The list specifies that numbers 4 to 20 are ‘different cities in China’ and then names said 4-20 cities including - somewhat unnervingly - ‘Seoul’, ‘New York’, ‘London’ etc. Perhaps this is fitting to the ‘whack things in China’ theme however?

Overall I would evaluate this as an admirable attempt in the noble pursuit of listing. At this point I wonder if I could perhaps tempt the bold marasan to refocus on the more advanced listographical pursuit of top fiving? You can think of it as the downhill tobogganing of listing pursuits. An elite and honed listing competition where the gravitational attributes of every word must be finely tuned to achieve the ultimate in listing perfection.

This fella seems to be overly anal about the game of chess.

So much as it seems to be morphing into a fetish.

531

The poo covered beads must have gone flying everywhere :fearful:

Anybody know if this anal beads thing is a real thing ?
I followed the story about the other Chess grandmaster in the US a while back…nothing was ever proven.

maybe these guys have something else like an implant or something …

532

I bet he used the anal beads like an abacus to cheat somehow.

533

Assbacus

534

And just like that, we see once again why there are so few female forumosans!

535

:joy: the most true statement thus far.

536

Girls can like anal beads, too

537

Wack things in China… Um… The CCP, pretty wack

538

Abac-ass!
(I will die on this hill!)
:grin:
:rofl:

539

OK, so what if anal beads were the original invention, and they gradually developed into the abacus after it was found they could be used for arithmetic? Just like how gun powder was originally developed for a different purpose. :exploding_head:

China launches new satellites to enhance Beidou navigation services. The booster landed in an unpopulated area. Move on, nothing to see here.
