A few minutes later a phone rang. The Japanese fellow lifted his palm to his ear. When he finished he explained "That was my mobile phone, I have a microchip in my hand."

He returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from his butt. The others raised their eyebrows and stared at him. The Canadian finally said "Well, will you look at that! I'm getting a fax."[/FONT]

Love it !!!

Its blatantly obvious why China isn't supporting Russia in this. And going back 10 years doesn't change that.

No Chinese support for the Russians...

Yeah its called a $250,000,000,000 annual trade deficit
and $500,000,000,000 in U.S. bonds

War would not be profitable for China....ten years later money talks and Mao walks

Nope.

Its called breakaway separatist provinces.

10 years earlier doesn't change that. China still doesn't support Russia.
