well, I'm sure the original reference in the Boxer rebellion, which was a rebellion in China to try and kick out foreigners.
http://www.smplanet.com/imperialism/fists.html The 'inboxer' rebellion is, imo, a not-so-clever play on words Does that cover it, or do you need my to draw you pictures?  _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

odd, never heard of the boxer rebellion? I learned about it in high school, I believe... a couple paragraphs maybe. But my mind is wierd... I remember stuff I shouldn't, and flunk tests for forgetting the easy stuff.

Am i the only one who doesn't have a single clue with pig is talking about?
Boxer rebellion rings a bell though, in some obscure forgotten part of my brain, in the category: "i know i heard of it but what was it about ".
Oh it might help if you told me what a "snope" is?? _________________ Beter een pens van het zuipen dan een bult van het werken! ~King of Thieves~ |
