Did you know that...
 
... if you sing the Cantonese version of  'Brother John' but change
the words to numbers in English, you will end up at 'twenty'.
 
For those who don't believe me:
 
Da hoi man cheung, da hoi man cheung
One two three four, five six se ven
Yau jek man, yau jek man
Eight nine ten, el ev en
Fai D lor ba sin lei, fai D lor ba sin lei
Twelve thir teen four teen fif, teen six teen se ven teen
Put chau kui, put chau kui
Eigh teen nine, teen TWEN TY
 
And this despite the fact that the Cantonese version isn't about that
Brother John is asleep and doesn't hear the morning bells. It's about
a mosquito in the house that must be chased out. Spooky or what?
 
(No, I better take another look for those darn pills...)
