2004 is the year of the male wooden monkey on the chinese calendar

So it's conceivable that this is a death threat. Doc should contact the police and get a detective on the case.
The tension between China and Japan? The Japanese people never renamed Chinese food as "freedom food."
this is getting interesting...I am chinese and i have noticed something about the upside down 4. in chinese tradition, people would hang the word Fu meaning fortune on their door during the holidays, but they would hang it upside down, the word dao means tilted which is pronounced very similarly to the word came, dao. So people would look at the word and say Fu Dao, meaning fortune is here. In this case, the upside down 4 would mean death is here.
also someone asked for the pronounciation of library in chinese, it's Tu Shu Guan.

you've never been to china or japan have you? it's true, there is great tension between the people and china and japan. The Chinese dispises the japanese for the atrocities during WW2 while the Japanese look down on the Chinese, to them, the Chinese is a bunch of peasants.
colonel mustard with the candlestick in the library..duh
anyways, keep the updates coming, like someone else said, this is very interesting. sorry all my ideas have been said already, so really i have nothing good to say

IMO it sounds less like an evil prank and more like some stupid marketing campaign, or other "Someone trying to be cute and surprise them" sort of situation.
If they were actually trying to _threaten_ the guy, wouldn't they do it in such a way that he would understand the threat?

Because it scares the sh!t out of them while they're at it. You want your victim to be afraid. People are irrational when they are afraid.

It was a joke...note the smiley.
Aren't death threats through the mail a federal felony? That would be a trip to federal pound me in the ass prison.
You should give this guy a call.
That's the first thing I thought of when I read this.
Did you notice any big, blue paw prints?
Seriously though, call the police.

I'd be a bit freaked out. that's quite odd indeed.
get forensics out there to get finger prints on the inside of the envelope

is the doctor chinese or asian?
does he have any chinese patients?
if the sender did this, then he must expect him to understand it and wants him to know or do something

Nice!
We need some updates.... Er.. we may not get them if they received the 4th envelope :Q
Bill
How is that weird? Do you even know where Japan got its written language from? (HINT: CHINA)
My Japanese teacher was from India
as long as the letters haven't been passed around, couldn't the police fingerprint the stuff inside the envelope? Or if you still have the envelopes they could always DNA test the back of the stamp to see if anything shows up...not sure if they would do this though as nothing has really happened yet.
