A Premonition Of Ill Fortune?

After the Channel News Asia report on the calculations of how the recent quake occurred, there have been words going around on how the Olympic mascots themselves are the sources of the recent spate of trouble the country is in. The five Olympic mascots are named as follows : Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, Nini, essentially it means "Beijing Huan Ying Ni", translated to "Beijing Welcomes You".

The mascot Beibei is in the shape of a Sturgeon fish, found exclusively in the Yangtze (Yellow) River. Jingjing is in the shape of a panda, which is mostly found in Sichuan (the earthquake?). Huanhuan has a flame-like shape on its head, supposed to represent the lighting of the Olympic Torch (at the same time the cause of the recent trouble over the lighting of the torch?).

Yingying has horns on its head, to represent an Antelope, to be more precise, a Tibetan Antelope (trouble with the Tibetan monks?). And finally, Nini has the shape of a kite on its head. Incidentally, there is a city in Shandong very famous for its kites, and a train crash few months back just happened to be in Shandong. Now if the Yangtze ever overflows, that will be another trouble on its own.

Incidentally, the Olympic logo looks like someone being shot, and people know China is known for its capital punishment where criminals are brought to open areas and shot to death. So is this just coincidence, or premonition? We better keep our fingers crossed that nothing else happens.
