Funny there is a shortage of fire detectors in China, because all of my fire detectors are Made in China.

Looks like Nciku says 年尾 can mean "end of year".

Why is 条 used as measure word here? I was expecting maybe 块 or 件 to be a measure word for blanket.

Thanks bodawei for clarifying the difference between  被子 and 毯子.

What about 于? Its also sometimes used to mean at or inside. I find its usage more confusing than 里, 内 or 在.

Is 服 pronounced with first or second tone? I think it should be second tone. In the dialogue, it seemed to be pronounced a bit inconsistently.

我觉得这个杀人犯应该被处以死刑。只是送他去精神病院对死者太不公平了。

As aylish pointed out, nciku is good for entering words on a computer, but if you are outdoors and your phone does not have touch input or Flash, the following site is an excellent radical based dictionary: http://usa.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=radicals

If 狗男女 refers to the couple, what do you call the man or woman individually? 男狗?狗子?
