i am interested in the subject of weird history and i realized that i haven't heard many examples of this genre from the asian continent. i did recently read one article about kissenger's visit with chairman mao where mao offered to give ten thousand women to the united states as if he were offering the man a cigar! then he offered him ten million a little later when his first offer was ignored. finally kissinger says he'll have to study the issue and left it at that.

anyway, if anyone has any more stories of this type please share...

Hmm...just curious, bobloblaw, is this article true by the way? Because I've never heard of kissinger. Sorry......

Liu Bang

There is probably more of a 'myth' or 'saying' rather than real history...

Aren't we talking about that particular Mao's story in another thread in recent days?
