    Free associating the name "mumbai" with the nigun like intro to a Dati-Zionist song.

              the change from Peking to Beijing was just a change in the Latinization system, the proper, non-anglicized pronounciation (which is, IIRC, is "pay-ching") is the same.

                I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                      It was the Muslims who lied about the name.
