    To save the thread-

    Chinese Torture

    A young man is wandering and lost in a forest when he comes upon a small house. Knocking on the door, he is greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long gray beard. "I'm lost," said the young man. "Can you put me up for the night?" "Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man." "OK," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old, and entered the house.

    During dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful, and had a fantastic body. She was obviously attracted to the young man as she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. During the night, he could bear it no longer and snuck into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet, so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn, he crept back to his room, exhausted but happy.

    He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes, he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought."If that's the best the old man can do, then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window, and threw the boulder out.

    As he did so, he noticed another note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to taut. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder.

    As he plummeted towards the ground, he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bed post."

    yeah well, i'm sorry for being a spoilsport funkstar.

    heres his reply

    Hey there Steve,

    Wow I'm surprised really. I just launched that site earlier today and people are looking at it.
    My apologizes for the mistake, I was trying to get as many articles as I could in 20 or so minutes and stumble over some words.

    http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Cor...ices,8448.html

    In the article there it says "Hexus claims to have received from China a pricing list for the upcoming CPUs of the Core i3, i5 and i7 families."
    I read it too fast and just put a Chinese website.

    I have changed the article and now says British website.

    Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for notifying me.

    and if you look at the website in the OP, it has now been changed.

    I have the powah!!!

    -and you wonder why you do a google on my name, nonthig shows up whatsoever (nothing relating to me anyhow) and theres only 12 entries pointing at HEXUS.

    We do have an article in mandarin somewhere. But only one.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
