  • Considering that they brought a hamster to signify a rat and a cow to signify an ox, they'll probably bring an orange house cat for the tiger, and an iguana or salamander for the dragon.

  • a hamster?

  • japanese people are chinese-a long time ago a emperor sent 3000 women and 3000 men to an island, to search for a potion for eternal life, they could'nt find one so they stayed there cause if they returned with nothing, they would all be slaughtered, now that island is japan, thats why japanese numbers are same as chinese but said differently and thats why japanese killed,raped and tortured chinese in world war 2

  • japan is part of China

  • japan? i thought that was the CHINESE new year

  • the kanji for ox is the same as cow 牛 and hamster has 鼠 the kanji for rat since it's 絹毛鼠

  • i know the economy is bad, but how expensive could a rat or an ox be?

    they could have at least rented a water buffalo... that's more convincing than a milk cow...

  • lol

  • gay

  • Yeah, I don't think how they could actually bring out a real-life dragon. Maybe they could clone a dinosaur, but that will be a long shot, lol.

  • haha~
