Hao qi hai si mao

What exactly does "Curiosity Killed the Cat" mean? According to The Phrase Finder website, it means "Inquisitiveness can lead one into dangerous situations".

On the other hand, "Curiosity Kills the Cat" is the English title for a Chinese movie in which Carina Lau won best actress in the Golden Rooster Awards (2007). Note: The best actress award for that year was shared between Carina Lau and Yan Bingyan.

Humans are curious creatures. We are curious about the '"real" person behind blog persona. Bloggers are curious about the "real" person who left comments on their blogs. Will curiousity kills us then as it killed the cat?
