Burmese Mountain Wisdom

Well folks ready yourself for the very first installment of Burmese Mountain Wisdom, where this blogger intends to impart his worldly and renowned wisdom to you, the huddled masses. A bit of house keeping before we kick this thing off...the title of Burmese Mountain Wisdom was of course chosen because it reminds me of those many long years of ninja training and soul searching spent in the far off mountains of Burma. Trust me on this one now...there's no wisdom like Ninja Wisdom...fact.

Now reader before you work yourself into a politically correct frenzy over there I am well aware that Burma is now the Union of Myanmar...but as I'm sure you can understand I don't really think Myanmarese Mountain Wisdom has quite the same ring...I mean for god's sake I doubt considerably that Myanmarese is even remotely correct, and frankly I just don't feel like doing the research. So, without further ado, here comes some Burmese Mountain Wisdom.

Actually there may be a tad more ado...it should be noted that the effect of these responses will most likely be enhanced if you all were to imagine that these answers were coming from a wizened old man who lives in a hut on a mountaintop. Said old man would almost certainly be donning an impressive white beard that he stroked thoughtfully, and he could possibly be smoking a pipe. Now while I do not have a beard, worry not good reader...for as I write this I will be thoughtfully stroking an imaginary beard. Also the only pipe that I own is a bubble pipe...but it has pretty much the same effect. So without any more pomp or circumstance I bring you Burmese Mountain Wisdom.

Our first question: "Can you please detail which is the superior city, New York or Chicago?"
