hah.. ya,. interesting post.


I think ever since we fell out of the trees, the human race has been figuring out ways to get one up, over, into and onto one another. Must be in the genetics.

Ya, I Am 300 lbs because of my genes
. erm.. no, you are a lard ball because you stuff cake into your mouth without control. While there may be a difference in your DNA, it is still you heavy lifting cream cakes every 5 min. I have yet to see a strand of DNA pick up 2lb of cooked bacon and shove it into your mouth.

Yupp, bought a 2 Gb Memory Stick Duo a few years ago. Very cheap and then it came clear, very fake. But i used it for 1,5 years in my phone and now its in my girlfriends camera. Working as intended. (For now...)

Interesting post. Reminds me of the time I was fooled by some fake Sony camcorder batteries (no wonder they were like £20 each instead of £80). Only when they failed after a couple of weeks and I opened them up and found them to be made of recycled cells did it snag. And on looking at the packaging more closely, the '(C) 2008 Sony' when it was only 2007 Wink

Recently, my GF got scammed for a fake DS game on eBay. Looked 'OK' at first, but when it wouldn't load properly, or started freezing I probed a bit more and found about 7 or 8 irregularities (most dammingly the product code for Mario Kart 64 printed on the box when the game was Scribblenauts). Still isn't resolved you bastard, and I know where you live!
