I'm CJ's dad.
Fascinating, I know.
Her middle name is Jinju, Korean for "pearl".
I've set myself up for expensive future gifts, methinks.

Mine suggests a creature that is half Chinese (a panda) and half Aussie (a kangaroo). You hear about new crossbred dogs like "Puggles" (pug/jack russel) and labradoodles (labrador/poodle). Guess Pandaroo is catchy too.

Oh it could mean sky in Tagalog too, but we usually mean Heaven.
My uncle was at an airport in Indonesia (or it might have been Malaysia) and he noticed a sign that said "gates...pintu". So pintu is either Indonesian or Malay for "gates".
But in Tagalog, pintu means "door"![/quote]
pintu is door in indo

^ That is some freaky signature. The person in question appears to be microcephalic, and possibly Down Syndrome as well. Characteristic facies. Sorry to get all technical, but those conditions are right in my wheelhouse. If anyone cares.

Sorry to get all technical, but those conditions are right in my wheelhouse. If anyone cares. I care. I've read about people with Down Syndrome before, more so the genetics concerned with it, and the statistics of the birth rate associated with the condition. Do you know what it is roughly for microcephalics in general? I imagine it to be less common, but to what degree I'm not sure.

Did you check out the link underneath the sig moving thingie? It's a clip from the scene that moving thingie is taken out of, which is taken out of the 1932 film "Freaks." Really, awesome movie, BTW.

Do you know what it is roughly for microcephalics in general? I imagine it to be less common, but to what degree I'm not sure. I should probably stop assuming people don't care about medical stuff on this site. To your question....and I apologize for the delay....it's back to school craziness here at the office.... Difficult to answer the incidence question for microcephaly. It is defined as head circumference more than 2 standard deviations below the norm for age, sex, and gestation, frequently caused by failure of brain development. The incidence, and mind you the dusty textbooks behind me on the wall date back to school for me....put the number at an estimated 2.5 per 10,000 live births. You must remember we are talking about a physical manifestation found in MANY overall abnormalities. The most recognizable being certain autosomal recessive chondroplasias, Fetal Alcohol syndrome, Fetal Rubella effects, COFS, Maternal PKU effects, Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome, Trisomy 13, and the list goes on and on. So it is short-sighted to just identify the presentation and not attempt to discover the disease for which the microcephalus presents, this makes just number crunching a moot point, thus the fogginess in incidence reporting. Ok, that got real nerdy real quick.
