tell you what, I'm intrigued by this one that didn't quite make it onto the 18 oddities list:

People sing rather than speak

..how true is this? how widespread? what percentage of the time?

hey mate,I'd be interested to see how many of the 18 oddities you've struck. Care to share any thoughts on 'em?

Thanks Zoey, I'm all up for a list of strange things...right up my alley. So what are the other 18 strange things?

Still,some of us 难看人have to accessorise to get the monkey off our backs [well that explains the hump...where is tal?]

good question. I'll have to listen to this one again,but sometimes I think Jenny is just breaking down the phrase or sentence and repeating different elements ,not necessarily in the correct grammatical order,just to emphasise those parts...kind of a teaching style. I don't know if that's what's happening here. Yes,hopefully Jenny or native Chinese will confirm.

hehe,I don't believe that mate.I'm sure it's about the man and not the accessories.The two girls that come with the car may have proved a problem though ;)
