  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,372 ✭✭✭im invisible


    i heard they have super powers, or something, i wasn't really listening


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Nope just like in take aways, the Indians would match them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,846 ✭✭✭Fromthetrees


    Nuclear weapons means no one can take over the world militarily, the 4t.h. world war will be fought with sticks and stones or not at all.
    Financially is the only way China could take over the world, has watching the documentary Austin Powers thought you anything?

    First they get the garlic, then they get the money, then they get the power, then they get the women.

    I think they've already started slowly poisoning people what with the kind of food they serve in 'Chinese' restaurants.

    They're the ones behind the plot to have us all turn gay. Soon we'll be extinct and only the chinese will be left. Then they'll come out of the tunnells under our houses and take over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭AG2R


    They already are, the takeaways are secret spy shops....

    Let me just add
    If they took over the world, I would be sad
    To see them prosper though, I would be glad
    Once they don't try and take my pad
    I would report them to my dad

    rads, adds, glads & sads,

    The chinese are a great bunch of lads:D

    That makes more sense. I was wondering why a country with such high levels of lactose intolerance wanted so much cheese.

    Sure if they all jumped in unison they could rule a flooded world.

    Thankfully some countries are considerably high above sea level, like Tibet. Oh wait.

    It'll never happen according to this

    China is a poor country, and lacks sufficient chairs. Moreover, many of the chairs that are available are of nonuniform height, meaning that even if all the Chinese jumped off at the same time, they'd hit the ground at different times, throwing off the results.

    Finally, they point out that discipline among the Chinese people has become lax since the Cultural Revolution, and that many of the participants in the project would likely be distracted when they were supposed to be jumping


    :D Down grade to amber alert!!
