This is cute one!  How long have you spent in investigating

P.S.  By the way, I don't think every member of Wo has the same

Lam is not even close to the Cantonese or Mandarin pronounciation.  
"Lamb" and "Lam" has the same pronunciation.  I think "Lum" is closer

USAF have difficultly to find any large military installation to drop their
bomb. To drop one or two in empty place, it may take time to have effect. 
Japanese did not surrendered after the first bomb but after the second bomb
a few days laters. They were taking chance that US had one bomb only. O.K.
purely consider this from the view point of US military. Why should they
waste one or two bombs in some empty place while they had three only (or
planned three). Just give them the greatest impact. Japanese still not 
surrender even they had no chance at all. 

Drop the A-bomb in some empty space may have same effect. But you need more
bombs (5 , 10 etc) and it took time. Some die-hard might bet the US dare not
drop those things in cities. Who know?

Asimov made up the 3 laws of robotics for his robot series. But the law was
so famous that many real robotic scientists consider it a guideline for

I cannot agree with your second point.  I think there are a lot of foreign
SF movies that can attract people's attention.  For example, E.T., Star War
Saga, Terminator I & II, Gremlin, Back to the Future Trilogy, .... are movies
that attracted a lot of HK people.

Dear friends,

     We are all far away from home, home town, home city, home
motherland. We each have the same dreams, dreaming about pursuing
a higher degree in education, accomplishing a wonderful task in
our own life, getting a satisfying job, climbing to a higher
class in life... But we feel lonely, terribly lonely, we need
friends, and love. Loneliness is like a killer, threatening us
every friday evening, saturday, sunday, holidays, even in daily
life. Why not let us gather together to get rid of loneliness, to
find ourselves companionship, to enjoy love or friendship! Let's
provide ourselves to the society and meet many people and choose
the one we want to be with, the one we love, but we have not met
yet.

     Good luck to all of you, dear friends!

sometimes or rather more frequently I get to read postings, the context of
which is not very friendly towards one language group or another (within
confines of Pakistan). I just want to impress upon the persons who post such
articles that, whether we like it or not, we i.e., Sindhis, Muhajirs, Punjabis,
Pathans and Baluchis have to live together. So let's make it a happy living.

Reporter to an American

Reporter:   Sir, Is sex work or pleasure?

Reporter:   Why?
American    Well, when you are doing it so sweat and that's physical, so it's work

Reporter to an Englishman

Reporter:   Sir, Is sex work or pleasure ?
Englishman: It's pleasure
Reporter:   why ?
Englishman: Well, when you doing it, you are actually enjoying it too, therefore
	    it's pleasure. 

Reporter to an ARAB:

Reporter:   Sir, Is sex work or pleasure
Arab:	    It's pleaure.
Reporter:   why ?
Arab:	    YOU SEE IF IT WAS WORK I WOULD HAVE GOT SOME INDIAN or PAKISTANI

JOKE 2

	A Pakistani goes on HAJJ (pilgrim to MECCA), at the airport he shows
	his Desi mentality by pushing his way to the front of the queue.
	Seeing this, an Arab policeman rushes over and curses the Pakistani 
	in Arabic, the poor Pakistani just stands there, his head bowed 
	in humbleness.

	After his HAJJ he returns(he only had a visitor visa) to Pakistan(land of
	milk and honey) and one of the first thing his friends asked him was, how 
	are the ARABS, i heard they are very rude to Indians and Pakistani's. To 
	which he replies it's all a lie,they are such a nice people and very 
	religious. Once, i was pushing  my way to the front of the queue on , 
	seeing this an ARAB policeman came over, instead of telling me off he

(low) for Pakistan, Pakistan has 508,000 lawyers (compared to about 750,000
for the US with a population of about 250 million). 

	The key comparison is between India and Pakistan, I can't believe 
that India and Pakistan have a (approx.) 15X discrepancy.
