GHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGH Thats wookie for wtf.....
That's because the word means "beautiful" in Chinese...but for reasons I've never understood (or enquired about - maybe the Kiwis were the first explorers to reach ancient China?) the character for 'may' is a combination of the characters 'sheep' and 'big'!
LOL! Obviously I didn't look at the date, although I do remember thinking I hadn't heard FF around recently...doh.
the fact he doesn't reply is all good ..... my dribble interpreter is broken ..... Brett/Bobby STOP POSTING !!!!!
LOL. On an interesting note there is clear evidence of Moari/Chinese links DNA wise. Plus back in the 60's a prominent NZ businessman went to China to a Dam and through an interpreter asked where they had hired the contractor from as he wasn't aware of Moari's working overseas. To his amazement he was told that all the labour was local. Having seen photo's you cannot tell the difference. Look at 1421 etc, good read and now more plausible since recent finding of a meteor strike in the ocean between Oz and NZ, carbon dated to around 1400 and would explain a tsunami which may have gone all the way inland to the Blues. Fun stuff eh!

Stranger things have happened... clocks were first invented in China but they were reserved for the Emperor and when he lost interest, they were packed away and forgotten about for a couple of hundred years!
Yes but the Gympie Pyramid was built by an italian market gardener rather than long lost sea-faring chinese explorers. Menzies is most easily rejected when one gets to his claims about Oz.
