Time to clear up the check list

Soon to depart. from Hong Kong or this planet? It doesn't really matter to a man of unimportant.Then, what is important to a man of unimportant? A list of common stuffs I would say. Just like a pirority list before one dies.

That list was perpared, some items has been done, while some of them are pending. Some of them are newly added, and some of them does not exist any more. The list keeps updating.

But one thing is certain now, someone will help me up for my funeral. So if you have no idea where the hell I am, perhaps you can assume I would in the haven.

How did the First World War start?!

It began with a love story, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand married Countess Sophie Chotek on 28 June 1900. Someone may argue wedding is not entirely a projection of love, but please ladies and gentlemen, be romantic, depsite the fact that everyone knows it was a subdued ceremony. Franz Ferdinand had to sign away the rights of any children born of the marriage and his wife was not becoming an archduchess or an imperial highness. This was poltical actually. But no one in this planet expected that Franz Ferdinand fixed the date of his death on this wedding, when would lead to the deaths of many million others.

On 28 June 1900, the Archduke and his wife drove into Sarajevo. At the same time, four romantic young men conspired and made attempts to assassinate Habsburg officials. One of them failed to draw his revolver; another felt sorry for the Archduke's wife and returned to home; the third one threw his bomb but missed. Now, the assassinate was no longer an assassinate as it was spoilt. The Archduke was angry when they reached to town hall. He then decided to drive out of town straightly. But his chauffeur was not told, and took the wrong turning then stopping the car and reversed. This time, the last young man saw before when the car was making the wrong direction, he killed the archduke in one shot, and killed archduke's wife with another. The spark then heated.

What if the chauffeur was told and made the correct turning? What if the last boy missed the shot? What if Franz and Sophie had never fall in love? You'd never know. We are just human being. The First World War might still take place even though these conditions are absent. So, why bother?
