Can’t resist posting those “I bet you won’t post this” posts, even the ones

that tell me my fly is open.

“Hi John–You mentioned Mao Zedong’s quote about a man’s death being either

’light as a feather or heavier than Mount Tai.’ The quote is actually from

Sima Qian’s Shi Ji, written in the 1st century BC. (click here

scroll down the the last selection – but the website got the wrong century!)

“You’re not likely to post this, but in any case please be sure to withhold

my name.”

Thanks, Robert.
