Some people resort to humor regarding the end of the world hubbub magnified by the movie 2012.

Taobao.com, China's leading online auction site (much like Ebay), now has tickets for the 2012 Ark.

Taobao seller Lee Hawk is selling seats for 1 billion euro. Boarding of the ark will be at Cho Ming landing.

Viewer comments gamely asked questions about residence permits after the flood (mayorship even if 2 tickets are purchased), if group rates have discounts, and if seller accepts cash on delivery.

Lee Hawk's other item on sale is a joystick. :-)

I saw this list via E-Mail and found a version on the web at a neat site, yellowbridge.com. Most of the ways them are pretty good.

• Fifty ways to know if you are Chinese

I like number 18 - You fight over who pays the dinner bill. I would comment on this more - but my wife does read this blog :-)

• You must be Chinese if..

Longer list including: You buy soy sauce by the gallon. The Costco near my house in Rowland Heights (actually Industry) sells Soy Sauce by the Gallon btw.

I belong to a humor toastmaster club and I volunteered to do a speech tomorrow, so I am not sure if I will do one using the lists above explaining what it means, or my Chinese American Marriage Tips. None of the Chinese Children Books I am stocking are one I can use for a speech. Monkey King is a possibility as a Tall Tail (great read).
