Niú is the pinyin romanization for cow/ox in Mandarin and this Chinese new year is the year of the ox! Ok get it? Now read this.
It's funny because it's a cow! It's so cute! I love puns!
I could go for a good burger right now!
Om nom nom nom!

Hah.. you are so easily amused..
Here's another Chinese pun, that you probably know already: "Nian nian you yu". Literally it means "year year have leftovers"
'leftovers' sound the same as fish. So fish are popular pictures/symbols during chinese niu year
oh the irony!
my uncle just mentioned this to me tonight. however, i do'nt find it funny.
cows are much funnier.
i liked how you mentioned this pun to Paul Crowe today. hahaha. well, if any non-Chinese person would get it, he would. did you have him as a prof too?
boo-ya ASC 200 ftw!
with Prof Crowe-zi!
what'd you have, a HUM class with him?
Yup, Great Texts of the Humanities - Chinese Tradition. We read Confucius, Chuang Tzu, and the zen teachings of master Lin Chi.
