Maybe I shouldn't be such a cynic. Maybe it's true.... Wink

I've got spots and freckles all over my ears----now I understand why I can't get l--d.

If anyone (Hot_rock) doubts this country has a long way to go before they become developed, read well.

So I guess I could be convicted for telling lies according to the length of my nose?

This has nothing to do with traditional medicine, and whilst some may want to make a link to give this absurdity some credibility, its as scientific as saying your nose will grow every time you tell a lie. If so, why dont Viets have much bigger noses?

Hmmm...not sure if the last poster thought I was being "serious" in my OP. Was the winking emoticon not evident?

I just thought the story was amusing...even ridiculous. Given how the EFL situation has gone to rat**** for NTs in the last decade(throughout E. Asia), isn't the odd chuckle in order?

Yes Razor- realized you were being cynical.
I wonder how many people actually believe this nonsense?
Its funny, but if people actually believe it (and I am sure some do), also dangerous.
