*lol* no!!!\nso here goes:\nIn the beginning there was darkness everywhere, and Chaos ruled. Within the darkness there formed an egg, and inside the egg the giant Pangu came into being. For aeons, safely inside the egg, Pangu slept and grew. When he had grown to gigantic size he stretched his huge limbs and in so doing broke the egg. The lighter parts of the egg floated upwards to form the heavens and the denser parts sank downwards, to become the earth. And so was formed earth and sky, Yin and Yang.\nPangu saw what had happened and he was pleased. But he feared that heaven and earth might meld together again, so he placed himself between them, his head holding up the sky and his feet firmly upon the earth. Pangu continued to grow at a rate of ten feet a day for 18,000 years, so increasing the distance between heaven and earth, until they seemed fixed and secure, 30,000 miles apart. Now exhausted, Pangu went back to sleep and never woke up.\nPangu died, and his body went to make the world and all its elements. The wind and clouds were formed from his breath, his voice was thunder and lightning, his eyes became the sun and moon, his arms and his legs became the four directions of the compass and his trunk became the mountains. His flesh turned into the soil and the trees that grow on it, his blood into the rivers that flow and his veins into paths men travel. His body hair became the grass and herbs, and his skin the same, while precious stones and minerals were formed from his bones and teeth. His sweat became the dew and the hair of his head became the stars that trail throughout heaven. As for the parasites on his body, these became the divers races of humankind.\nAlthough Pangu is dead, some say he is still responsible for the weather, which fluctuates according to his moods.

NASA has consistently denied that any of its astronauts have had sex in space.  Rumors continue to circulate about a NASA report that documents their experiments into the practice but the alleged document has been circulating the Internet in various forms since the late 80s and always refers to a different mission number as being the one that is occurred on with one mission that the alleged male-female encounter being an all male crew.\n\nAnother rumor involves mission STS-47 when Mark C. Lee and Nancy Jan Davis, a married couple, were on the same mission.  NASA also denies that they engaged in sex while in space.

It has become a space-based myth. The Great Wall of China, frequently billed as the only man-made object visible from space, generally isn't, at least to the unaided eye in low Earth orbit. It certainly isn't visible from the Moon. \nYou can, though, see a lot of other results of human activity.\n \nThe visible wall theory was shaken after China's own astronaut, Yang Liwei, said he couldn’t see the historic structure. There was even talk about rewriting textbooks that espouse the theory, a formidable task in the Earth’s most populous nation.

The claim that China's Great Wall is the only man-made object that can be seen from the moon with the naked eye is one of our more tenaciously incorrect "facts," a bit of erroneous speculation which was spawned decades before we had the means to demonstrate it true, and which continues to have currency despite having long since been proved false. Some less specific versions of the Great Wall claim maintain it is the only man-made object that can be seen from "space," but although the term "space" is rather non-specific, it is not difficult to show the Great Wall claim to be false for any reasonable definition of the term.

Yes at present the human slave trade is growing in Africa and certain middle eastern countries. I have seen first hand how children and women have been sold off. Most slave trade is done for sexual acts were by the offender normally kills the child or women once sexual gratification has been reached. China has quite a following with regard to this matter.

taoism (includes folk religion & ancestor worship), buddhism & islam. confucianism is more on intellectual, business & family values, which may or may not considered as a religion. in my opinion, its not a religion.\nupdated:\nmarion is very much correct. christianity is indeed making its way into chinese lifestyle recently, slow but steady. i forgot about christianity, because during the chinese revolution, most chinese- christians fled to taiwan. the christian missionaries were told to leave, & the remaining chinese- christians (like all other religions) were being 'brain-washed'. religions are absolutely not tolerated.\nthanks marion, for higlighting christianity.

God, fate or destiny...Something is in store for each of us! Everyone matters...\n\nThere is a Chinese saying, "Heaven does not make useless people"...

The beings that pilot flying saucers are from earth. They have done a great job of misinformation by convincing us they are from 'someplace else'. Nearly every account of a saucer 'pilot' naming it's 'home-world' is a different place. That's like 25-30 different answers given to the question 'where are you from'? I think it's intentional misdirection and that the truth may be stranger than fiction.

My favorite is Earth Bending, but then again, I do study Hung Gar.\n\nInterestingly enough, each nation represents a different Chinese martial art: Air - Xing Yi (pronounced "Sheeng Yee"), Water - Tai Chi Chuan, Fire - Northern Shaolin, and again, Earth - Hung Gar. Toph, though, does southern Mantis.

The very first Chinese space rocket carried a GOLD template for a US$100 bill, as part of a collection of things to tell extra-terrestial recipients something about life on earth.\nIt came down somewhere in the Peoples' Republic of China.\nIt was a common thing to put such things on space rockets back then - now it seems crazy, and it was, but we didn't know any better then.

I guess that even if Heaven could be reached by using a StarShip, or any other mode of transportation.....which way would head?   With Babel, they were building a stationary object....so up was their choice of direction.

Chinese Myths.\n\nPangu and the Creation of the World\nThis myth is similar to many creation myths worldwide, in which the world is formed out of the body of a primal being.\n\nIn the beginning there was darkness everywhere, and Chaos ruled. Within the darkness there formed an egg, and inside the egg the giant Pangu came into being. For aeons, safely inside the egg, Pangu slept and grew. When he had grown to gigantic size he stretched his huge limbs and in so doing broke the egg. The lighter parts of the egg floated upwards to form the heavens and the denser parts sank downwards, to become the earth. And so was formed earth and sky, Yin and Yang.\n\n\nPangu saw what had happened and he was pleased. But he feared that heaven and earth might meld together again, so he placed himself between them, his head holding up the sky and his feet firmly upon the earth. Pangu continued to grow at a rate of ten feet a day for 18,000 years, so increasing the distance between heaven and earth, until they seemed fixed and secure, 30,000 miles apart. Now exhausted, Pangu went back to sleep and never woke up.\n\nPangu died, and his body went to make the world and all its elements. The wind and clouds were formed from his breath, his voice was thunder and lightning, his eyes became the sun and moon, his arms and his legs became the four directions of the compass and his trunk became the mountains. His flesh turned into the soil and the trees that grow on it, his blood into the rivers that flow and his veins into paths men travel. His body hair became the grass and herbs, and his skin the same, while precious stones and minerals were formed from his bones and teeth. His sweat became the dew and the hair of his head became the stars that trail throughout heaven. As for the parasites on his body, these became the divers races of humankind.\n\nAlthough Pangu is dead, some say he is still responsible for the weather, which fluctuates according to his moods.

fengshui is not a matter of believing. it will affect you sooner or later even if you do not believe in it. in fact, it is adviseable for people having their homes optimized with fengshui not to think about it or even believe in it... but they just need to remember what goes where and go on with their usual lives.\n\nlife will be very miserable if we force people to believe in things they don't want to believe. and another thing, if people needed to believe in something for it to work, then it is not that powerful as it is.\n\nfengshui is different, it is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not even a cult. it is a system of theories, each is composed of many calculations. most calculations do not even involve math; it has its own order or system of calculations.\n\nfengshui is created by the chinese about 4,000 years ago to optimize farm yield. later, about 2,000 years ago, the chinese utilize it to win battles in formation of the dynasties. now it is used to promote harmony in the home and ease life.\n\nso whether you believe it or not, it affects you.\n\nproof:\n1 of the theories of fenghsui is flying star; it is a simple way to predict the future. in fengshui the beginning of the year usually begin during the latter part of the previous year. for example, 2005 starts about october of 2004. in flying star the center annual star is 4, which is bad for fenghsui, many people are going to die; hence the tsunami; in 2006, the center is 3, which is about conflict, so worldwide we can see small wars, rallies, strikes; in 2007, the center is 2, which is illness - does this mean a pandemic of bird flu? we don't know yet. but illness will prevail worldwide. then 2008, center is 1, which is money and sex - so there will be controversy surrounding such topics, and businesses will flourish, especially those in the sex and bar businesses.\n\nps most books especially those written in english are not authentic chinese fengshui, even those written by lillian too. there are only a few good masters who writes the good stuff; one of them is eva wong. and most good chinese books are even written in codes and poems to avoid these theories to fall in the wrong hands.\n\nfengshui is not really the arrangement of things in the house; but it is how you optimize using the chi in the house. the most important thing are the degrees/ tilt to which the door faces- that defines a part of the fortune of the occupant, not how the chairs  and tables are arranged.

It is an interesting twist on new age angels.  Supposedly, 1,111 "midwayers" or angels were sent to earth to help out people as they went through their lives.  It trips me out too.

No. \n\nMongolians are the people who have had a long history that predates chinese.. They are well known for their bravery, short horses and fierce soldiers. They had a very good civilization with good arts & crafts. They were self sufficient people. They conquered and ruled chinese people for sometime... \n\nChinese were their neighbours who were huge in population, following their own style of civilization, arts & crafts. They had a different style of battling and fierce soldiers. They were mostly innovative in bring about many inventions and wining over mongolians eventually... \n\nThe scientific world had given a name called 'Mongolaid Race' to all the asians who looked similar to each other in the facial appearance, color, etc.. This has brought many confusion.. but hope u r clear now!
