theloniusfleabag Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 BEIJING, Sept. 29 (Xinhuanet) -- China Meteorological Administration (CMA) said Thursday Typhoon Longwang might affect southern China in early October.source... http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-09/...ent_3563997.htm (The whole article is worth a read, different grammatical structure than mine is funny) Evidently, 34 Taiwanese were injured by the blowing of 'Longwang'. Meanwhile, Taiwanese gov't officials were heard to say, "If the Chinese Gov't won't give us independence, let them have a taste of 'Longwang". Elsewhere, a homeless Taiwanese was asked what the typhoon meant to them..."I live in a box. It is not made to stand up to typhoons. This 'Longwang' is going to ruin my box". Other people had a different take on the typhoon, with one Chinese Baptist Minister being quoted as saying, "It's God's 'Longwang', coming to take revenge on the wicked. We must repent soon, or we may suffer the wrath of God's 'Angry Longwang'. Several Western tourists in the area were snickering and unavailable for comment.
