happy new year!

in korean culture, it is the year of the GOLDEN pig. this is no ordinary year, folks. children born in the year of the golden pig are stronger, faster, smarter and can jump over buildings while calculating the instantaneous slope of their line of trajectory.

some golden pig year facts:
* it happens only every 600 years (wow!)

*korea expects the birth rate to rise by 10 percent this year (no way!)

*some koreans are not planning on having babies this year because the competition pool for getting into higher education institutions will be even larger (bada bing!)
