Invasion Taiwan Countdown: 1,239 days

Some people are predicting a Chinese invasion of Taiwan to be an Olympic Surprise - that is an invasion right before the games in Beijing start.

The opening ceremony, in a most Chinese fashion, will be 8/8/2008.

I guess it might be their way of saying "Who's your Daddy?"

Father's Day 父親節 ‧August 8
　This day was designated Father's Day in 1945. The Chinese characters for "eight" 八 (eighth day of the eighth month of the solar year) and "father" 爸 are both pronounced ba.

So, we have 1,239 days until we finally speak proper Mandarin here in Taiwan.
