Confession of a Windtalker
The following conversation took place after my announcement of a personal matter to my friends.
L: so no body in the club knows about it including R???!!!
G: Actually... R knew ;) As a matter of fact, I talked about it in the club, but in coded messages. R broke the code. ;)
L: oooh ic before i joined the club right :) you can be the "007" too :)
R: I suspect that G might be part Navajo as he is a master 'code-talker.
G: R, if I were a Wind Talker, and you broke my code, what does that make you? ;)
R: Why, someone who enjoys breaking wind of course!
G: "Better out than in, I always say." -- Shrek
So it seems that it goes both ways.
R: Life's a gas!
Here are the references used in the above conversation:
According to Wikipedia:
Code talkers was a term used to describe people who talk using a coded language. It is frequently used to describe Native Americans who served in the United States Marine Corps whose primary job was the transmission of secret tactical messages. Code talkers transmitted these messages over military telephone or radio communications nets using formal or informally developed codes built upon their native languages. Their service was very valuable because it enhanced the communications security of vital front line operations during World War II.
The name code talkers is strongly associated with bilingual Navajo speakers specially recruited during World War II by the Marines to serve in their standard communications units in the Pacific Theater. Code talking, however, was pioneered by Choctaw Indians serving in the U.S. Army during World War I. These soldiers are referred to as Choctaw Code Talkers.
Other Native American code talkers were used by the United States Army during World War II, using Cherokee, Choctaw, Lakota[1] Meskwaki, and Comanche soldiers. Soldiers of Basque ancestry were used for code talking by the US Marines during World War II in areas where other Basque speakers were not expected to be operating.
Windtalkers is a 2002 action war film directed by John Woo. Nicolas Cage and Christian Slater star as two US Marine sergeants assigned to protect Navajo code talkers in Saipan during World War II.
Flatulence is the expulsion through the rectum of a mixture of gases that are byproducts of the digestion process of mammals and other animals. The mixture of gases is known as flatus, (informally) fart, or simply gas, and is expelled from the rectum in a process colloquially referred to as "passing gas", "breaking wind" or "farting". Flatus is brought to the rectum by the same peristaltic process which causes feces to descend from the large intestine. The noises commonly associated with flatulence are caused by the vibration of the anal sphincter, and occasionally by the closed buttocks.
I took the next picture in a supermarket last night:

台灣之敵 發表於 2019-04-27 自由時報: 《ROC才是「台灣之敵」》 民進黨立委王定宇前年提出「刑法」修正草案,希望將「敵人」增列為構成要件,是忽略台灣的法理現實而導致的蛇足。中國共黨政權固然是中華民國的敵人,但對台灣而言,中華民國才是法理上(de jure)與事實上(...

都江堰 是我所知道最偉大的東西。 從年代來說,它完成於秦始皇滅六國之前,也就是說,它比長城還老。而現在的長城,不過是明朝的邊牆,還不是秦長城呢! 從實用性來說,長城、金字塔都成了廢物。它們都已經失去當初原先建造的功能,而都江堰卻歷久彌新,仍然發揮著它的原始功用。 從人道主義出發,...
