Are Lizards Religious?: Results (01)

A few nights ago... in a drunken stupor (we'll never know), Cathy agreed to take on a qualitative research to find out if lizards are religious. Being the dedicated research assistant that she is, she diligently completed the job (despite the outcome not coming out the way it shhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifould come out) with the minimal pay of 'board and lodging' when she's in Kuala Lumpur.
Below is the paper she wrote for the research, stolen with permission from her blog.

Be enlightened.


Research Study on Household Lizard in Hong Kong: Qualitative Study
by Cathy Chan

The research interest is raised by Chi-too. His hyposytheis is: the common household lizard comes to the ground every morning at 6 AM to be near the earth and pray.

Base on his non-study, he would like to carry out a cross-border research in Malaysia and HK. We would like to compare if the lizard comes to the ground every morning at 6am to be near the earth to pray or not, their practices and reason. We'd also analyze it after the comparasion.

Target: Household lizards x 20 in HK
Budget: one meal and one sleeping area

Result:
1) NO lizard can be found in household
I was conducting the research in Tsz Wan Shan in HK. It is a remote area in HK. I found 20 households but none of the family said they have lizard.

2) There are too many furniture for the lizards to come near the earth

3) No need body language or translator. Cockroach friends told me, useless!


Conclusion
1) No lizards come to HK to pray
2) No place for lizards to pray as HK's homes are too small but too many furniture
3) I cannot fall in love with lizard or have lizard-cockroach mixed baby(ies), I cried
4) Chi will not pay me a meal nor sleeping place in Malaysia

Chi-too, it is a gift for your sister
Pls give me a meal or your studio
