right light bulb, wrong socket

i've been thinking...
first, the uk handed back Hong Kong to china and today it stands as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China.

two and a half years later, Portugal did the same with Macau, making it China's second SAR.

so now there were SARs, and then there was SARS. weird!

reminds me of the 5th element - when things line up (celestial bodies in that case) all hell breaks lose...
