Taken from a local forum. Very hilarious.

What is your Japanese name?

Take each letter of your name and substitute it with the Japanese sound to the right of the letter. Names might be kinda long.

A- ka * B- tu * C- mi * D- te * E- ku * F- lu * G- ji

H- ri * I- ki * J- zu * K- me * L- ta * M- rin * N- to

O-mo * P- no * Q- ke * R- shi * S- ari * T-chi

U- do * V- ru * W-mei * X-na * Y- fu * Z- zi

Something just came into my mind.

China hold about 500 billion dollars of debt incurred by US government, but the debt is nearing 10 TRILLION. Also, Japan holds close to 600 billion dollars, about 100 billion more than China.

The debt held by China is double the value of the gold held by United States of America currently. If USA were to switch to “real money”, wouldn’t they become a third-world country instantly ?
