		<description><![CDATA[Yes, yes, I’m sure it was 1864. I remember now, because the year sounded very strange. Libby-ah, just listen to it: Yi-ba-liu-si. Miss Banner said it was like saying: Lose home, slide into death. And I said, No, it means: Take hope, the dead remain. Chinese words are good and bad this way, so many [...]]]></description>

3 out of 5 ex-boyfriends polled say that I prefer to be in [...]]]></description>
