Q: 1. How do you make a flapping origami crane?
2. I heard that there's a legend about making 1000 paper cranes, then something happens. What's the whole story?
3. If anyone here knows Faye Wong, what's her latest album?

I don't know how to make the flying crane, but I do know the story, however, I'll let Relena answer those because she has more authority on the subject.
As for Faye Wong, I do happen to know who she is. But I do not know about her album.
And no... I don't like sports. I enjoy playing them on occation, but I dislike watching sports. It seems pointless.

"occassion". And don't you consider your job as a sport? (Spelling Pickiness strikes again!)occation
It's okay if you don't know how to make the flapping crane. I could find it in my school's library. ^_^ -_-

Actually you're probably thinking to two separate things, the legend (I think it's Japanese) is that if you make 1,000 paper cranes you would be granted one wish. The story most associated with it was a girl from Hiroshima, she developed Leukemia after the atomic bomb was dropped (there's an incredibly interesting story about the target of the 2nd atomic bomb, but that's irrelevant to this). She started folding the cranes, and got to about 450 if memory serves, but she died from the Leukemia before she finished and her classmates finished making the rest of the thousand.White Witch wrote:2.

The folding of 1000 paper cranes is a japanese legend, yes. They say that if you fold 1000 cranes, then you will receive a miracle.
In the story of the girl, Sadako Sasaki, she was trying for the miracle that she would get better from her leukemia and live a longer life. It all started with one large golden paper crane that her best friend friend, Chizuko, made for her to start the 1000. At one point, she had folded 500, and felt so much better that she was able to go home. However, later the leukemia got worse and she had to go back. She never quit folding though, and reached the total of 644 cranes before she died. After she died, her classmates finished making the thousand for her and buried them with her.
I loved that story. So sad. I recommend it to everyone.

I'm going to totally change the subject now. Dear Heero, in your opinion, who has the best hair in Gundam Wing? No offese to anyone that hates her, but I think Ms. Dorothy Catalonia has the best hair. Also another random subject changer, what is Miss Relena's worste fear, or yours, is it something silly like cows? Only tell me if its something silly, so yeah... that's all I got.
