So there, it's official...or something. My psychometric test also found that they were all lying imbeciles who were generally untrustworthy. And the genetic finger printing found they were all bastards when their relatedness was compared using 14 primers. Yay!

It causes no end of trouble in Vietnam as Westerners (not used to the accents), suckered into being able to read the words, try to pronounce the words as they would sound in their own language, invariably meaning they insult their host regarding genetalia. Or say Top Of The Poo's instead of Top Of The Pops.
