Krys Toff would love this diagram for sure.

However, I like the massage related bullshit. I don't believe it works, but the massage itself is great.

Great graph! All of those things really are complet bullshit. The only two that I have a little respect for are:

Feng Shui: It should not be understood literally, more like mythology. As I understand it, it's common sense advice with supernatural reasoning, like monster stories for kids. Interior design is an area that has not been properly researched yet.

Automatic writing: can be a great way to find out what's going on in your own mind, and that's a valuable thing. Of course it has nothing to do with objective truth.

I'm quiet interested in some of them. Believe? None. Respect? To most of them. Against? Those who are against the human integrity like Anti-Vaccination (stallin jerks, this is the biggest nonsense just like veganism. If you want to apply to yourself it's OK but it's a crime to obligate your kids to this. These people should be in jail.) and of course those who earn profit from the others faith.

Chinese country names are also interesting.

Only a few countries of the world have "talking" names in Chinese, most are just something close in pronunciation, without a specific meaning.
Some talking names:

Germany = deguo = land of the brave
UK = yingguo = land of the heroes
USA = meiguo = beautiful land
France = faguo = land of the laws
Russia = eguo = land of the hungry
Hungary = xiaongyali = barbarians with sharp teeth
and of course China = zhongguo = middle kingdom

some non-talking name examples:
Denmark = Danmai
Italy = Yidali
Argentina = Aigenting
Brazil = Baxi

[Shoegazing Leo]

Brasil is a tree.

In portuguese, Peru is turkey (animal), and Turkey (country) is Turquia.

Not a country but in spanish "Laponia" = "La ponía" has sexual meaning

I know how to say three things in Hungarian:

1. "Your mother is a bítch, fùck you!"
(Kurva anyád, baszd meg)

2. "I like to fart"
(Én szeret fingani)

3. "I would like a (bottle of) sour cream"
(Kerek szépen egy tejföl)

I wonder what kind of conversation I could hold with just these phrases. How long could I pretend I was fluent by using just these three phrases? What would I do if I went on a date with a Hungarian girl who spoke no English at all?

[BonzaiJoe]

Actually I think your Danish vocabulary would get you further in Denmark than my Hungarian vocabulary would get me in Hungary. As long as you stay in bars with really drunk people and also learn to say "skål" (cheers).

CTG, don't you know FISSE???

csapolt sör = beer from tap

draught beer

Btw it's also useful to drink Unicum (spirit with herbs, 40% alcohol) at pubs!

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

csapolt sör = beer from tap

draught beer

I've already seen a few Hungarian pubs with "Beer from tap" or "Tapped beer" on the drink list.

That's something like FRIED POTATOES IN HAWK for héjában sült krumpli... That was also on a menu card...
