Asian vs. Azn

I've figured it out! It's all a conspiracy! The "How azn are you?" poll works thus: the more *asian* you are, the less *azn* you are. And (apparently) vice versa. I mean, jeez, being Asian goes a lot further than just wrapping remote control in seran wrap! (remote controls in China are sometimes kept in the orginal baggie, etc, but that's b/c it's dustier there.) And there's more to Asian food than durian. (I dunno what it is. Actually, I probably know, but don't know the american/common name for it). And calling the asian (or maybe we should say East Asian) method of calculating age as a "fake age" is just quite silly. At first I didn't know what they were talking about! Xu Sui, superficial age, or hollow age, or something. ::can't translate:: But yeah, in the places that actually count it, you don't call it Xu Sui, people just expect you to cite that age. And in the places that don't, it's just something fun and superficial. Therefore, *everyone* has a "fake age"... And my dad cooks well enough that we don't need to protect our kitchen from grease! hah!

And what's weird is that I've never gotten any of the in-between ones, such as 50% or 75%

And this is all a conspiracy to avoid reading Marx.
