Some Really Neat Facts

March 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments

We got these neat facts (in italics) from one of the English papers. Can you guess which one it was?

Did you know (newly elected Taiwan president) Ma Ying-jeou is “tall, handsome, athletic, a refined gentleman who is also a go-getter…is popular, not just among womenfolk but among the young hard-working men of Taiwan.”

And we be you didn’t know: His landslide victory is proof that the islanders, particularly those in their 40s and younger, are free from the February 28 trauma….Tens of thousands of innocent islanders were slaughtered by government troops sent from China (emphasis ours) to suppress the incident which broke out on that day 61 years ago. The massacre, followed by what is known as the reign of white terror, spawned a lasting feud between the islanders and the mainlanders.

Did you know we like to breastfeed baby camels for the friggin’ fun of it?
