[QUOTE]Chinese authorities have uncovered a tunnel from the mainland to Hong Kong, apparently built by smugglers.
The tunnel, with concrete walls and interior lighting, started under a garage near the city of Shenzhen and stretched for 40m (130ft) under a river and into reed-beds in Hong Kong.
The authorities believe gangs intended to use it to import mobile phones and other electrical goods into Hong Kong.
The semi-autonomous zone has different tariffs to the mainland.
The smugglers could make huge profits by avoiding border fees and taxes.[/QUOTE]

Undercover agents.

Well, there'd be a bunch of stuff going into a garage and a lot less coming out, so I think the police could assume they're moving stuff in a way they haven't noticed and raid the place to find out.
Sounds like that Ed Edd n Eddy joke.

Don't really know that you can call it an "Ed Edd n Eddy joke" it's been done in various form by numerous cartoons I think. Definitely Bugs Bunny or one of those cartoons has

I, too, confuse the words 'Hong Kong' and 'America' from time to time. Made saying the pledge of allegiance in school a daunting and confusing experience.

In almost all American schools, you're requested (but not required) to do the Pledge of Allegiance in unison at the beginning of the day,
[I]I pledge allegiance,
to the flag,
of the United States of America.
And to the republic,
for which it stands:
One Nation
Under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice,
for all.[/I]
Looking back on it, it's some seriously weird dictatorship style shit :tinfoil:
Pledging allegiance to the flag of our nation, and to the standing republic under god and indivisible (even though it's very divided) with liberty and justice for all (unless they don't have very much money or aren't white or straight)
America!

From kindergarten, I think I only said it once. Teachers got onto me for a while but I would always respond with something along the lines of "Why should I pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth?" and they'd leave me alone.
I got taiwan and hong kong mixed up in my head, and I was very impressed at first.
