Along with the ribs, the sternum forms the rib cage that protects the heart, so his chest was crushed not his equipment. As with Chinese, if you pronounce the word incorrectly, as I do all the time in means a completely different thing. Cheers, Dodger.

Living in a country with English as official language is a little bit harsher to the people from Oriental countries, i.e. China, Japan and Korea. Learning English is a long term task for me ( I even learn popular American English from my child) and I enjoy reading postings in Amusement which brings fun as well after 8hr work with limited internet access.
