Hmm... perhaps it is because the people who wrote down these features were Westerners. If you'd invented this form of description, maybe the sparrow would have been used as the original form.

Hi Everyone! I haven’t been feeling all that great recently, but luckily I managed to get my hands on the Immortal Buddha Vital Essence Extractor. This extractor has won global invention prizes and been tried out by countless celebrities. Its quality is reflected in its incredible sales. With it you can create dishes, make soup, make soybean milk; it can be your ox and your workhorse, it can do all the hard work. There's nothing it can't break open or grind up, from as small as bean sprout to as large as a walnut.

Buddhism and Islam came to China along the old Silk Road, along with Arabian astronomy, calendars and medicine, and China’s four great inventions (the compass, gunpowder, paper and printing) and silk farming technology also passed to the world along it. More importantly, the exchange of goods and ideas brought with it conceptual innovation.

Recently I watched a Japanese variety show, and they invented a new word called "cell phone ugly women".

So they should hurry up and invent delivery drones. Oh yes! On Taobao they are actually already testing delivery drones.

I was only joking around, why are you being so serious? Everyone knows that these twelve animals go along with the Stems-and-Branches cycle used by our ancestors to record years, each of the 12 earthly branches corresponds to an animal.

Murakami Haruki, that's the author that writes those books that are a bit surrealist. So it's him that invented the phrase. Then I can sort of comprehend (the phrase).

I don't think that has to be the case. Bitcoin is like a mystery. We don't even know who the heck its inventor “Satochi Nakamoto” actually is. He invented it and has just laid low. I think that it's something for geeks and enthusiasts to play with. Average people like us investing in this thing would worry about losing everything and not knowing who to turn to.

This is a copper beam. We know that King Zhou and Daji invented torture by walking on a heated copper beam. This copper beam was an instrument in torture. The beam was placed upon a bed of hot coals, and someone being tortured would walk on the beam. The person being tortured would be unable to withstand the heat and would fall into the hot coals and burn to death.

For someone to come up with ideas like these, they'd have to be really cruel. They've invented torture devices for every part of the body, from head to toe!
