Isn't it just gorgeous! And the best bit is these disaster-mongers are serious. Not kidding! The story they are telling goes like this:

And G-F-F represents the South China region that includes HK and HK is the area most associated with The Fish! So OBVIOUSLY the next disaster will be US!!! Yup, US!!! We will sooooo be going down!!!!
And I've even heard it said that this disaster will happen at 8 am on 8/8/08 because those numbers said in sequence sounds like "bart, bart, bart, bart" which apparently sounds like a dog barking. It's also when the Olympics start!
So, three weeks to go! Unfortunately, we won't be in HK for the Olympics. We are off on holiday. HK is only hosting the Equestrian Events ...
... and we all know why, don't we! It's for the same reason that Christie's and Sotheby's holds all it's Chinese pre-auction viewings in HK. It all has to do with a certain guarantee that China won't give.
But enough about capriciousness and corruption; let's go find an issue of HK Magazine and see what they've chosen ...

However, since these mascots were chosen and fabricated and put out into the public eye, there has been a seriously major disaster at four of the five regions each in turn and in the order they're ranked ...

Each area of HK
has been given a horse
to decorate to celebrate
our big occasion.
This one is Sai Kung's
"horse of a different colour".

FAN DEATH
It seems that it is commonly believed that electric fans left on overnight slice the air molecules into pieces and results in death from dead oxygen.
