Can't wait to see everyone coming to the show!

By the way, I am starting to get gently triggered by the coded messages in your save `codes'. I think you need you need a moderator to analyse this issue. I volunteer for the job.

I mean latest is `WEVSPS5P' . Your final P is sounding a little exosexualaticismic to my liking. Cut it out.

I am especialy impressed that you managed a shot of the famous Guido Mancini (in lead photo, wearing grey capuchin) scrying Thucydides, phone wise of course (is there any other way to read?) as Hop Sing doled the goods. Big white hat, white suite of not gaberdine. Sheer genius.

I don't care a funk about any of the content of this (written content that is), but the photographer is a genius. (of sorts) Sorts not necessarily benevolent, but certainly humourous.

okay listen youse Beijinger folk. i can write about spanish- morrocan hybrid goulash lickty split, and can whip up Indonesian mocca befrore bob's yer uncle.(editor: apostrophe or no?) I can also do other things but c,c,c an't remember what they right now. S,s,s,s something about overcoming st, st, st, stuttering. But soon to be dismissed because never learned to 拍马屁。 Crazy and nice women in two cities both abotherin my mind. One wants all my money, one wants all my love. One has a husband what wantsa kill me. Y'all( editor, apostophe correct? ) go figure out which is which. Ain't hard to do, according to William Faulkner.

Thank you for this informative and intersting article!

One thing that would have made it even better, would be if the pinyin for all those advanced cooking terms were included in the text...

I don't know if you actually meant the Aztecs, (rather than the Mayans) but there have been more than one historian, archeologist, ethnologist, linguist etc to see an early Chinese influence on the Mayans, most clearly in many similarities between Chinese/Mayan calendars, with eg. the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, and animals associated with them, as well as the bunny in the moon stuff. I once read a fairly extensive treatise on this, which also included similarity in motifs in artwork; also metallurgy. I can't seem to find exactly what I know I read before, owing to the dumbing down of search engine searchs, owing to the overabundance of social media garbage that interposes between information and pages of Twitter garbage. Once was a time when you could actually find important information on the internet.
