        Clearly the Taiwanese have stolen something.

          That joke was even less funny the second time around.

          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            I don't get it. Why did you retract your comment? It was pretty standard fare and actually did bring out a certain aspect of this discussion, which VetLegion picked up on.

              An interview with Cao:
              In my joint paper with Zhu, we have given a detailed account. Hamilton and Perelman have done the most important fundamental works. They are the giants and our heroes! In my mind, there is no question at all that Perelman deserves the Fields Medal. We just follow the footsteps of Hamilton and Perelman and explain the details. I hope everyone who read our paper would agree that we have given a rather fair account.

              Most unfortunately, Prof. Yau’s view point has been distorted by the media. As far as I know, Prof. Yau never assigned any percentage distribution and he doesn’t agree with any such distributions. In fact, he has shown me several emails (...) he wrote to various reporters which stated explicitly that he doesn’t agree with that kind of distribution. I also like to add that Prof. Yau respected Perelman’s contribution a great deal. In more than one occasion, including when talking to the reporters of the New Yorker (...) he said that Perelman deserves the Fields Medal.

                Then why is China so afraid of US cartoons.

                I think you're confusing population with culture.
