Thursday Think-tank

Five things we're all wondering about

1 Taxi fares rise 8.5 per cent, but long hauls to be cheaper ... and there's still no extra charge for getting sick in the back seat.

2 War cannons found at Admiralty ... once powerful and intimidating, now they're ancient relics - kind of like Liberal Party members.

3 Health concerns over proposed development near Mai Po Nature Reserve ... it seems the plan by developer Cheung Kong (Holdings) is making local environmentalists sick.

4 Stephen Chow Sing-chi to direct The Green Hornet ... except the movie will now be called Kato.

5 Typhoon Hagupit lashes Hong Kong ... After the rain and floods, there are suddenly even more people looking for a bailout.
