I dunno if anyone else seen this but I almost busted out laughing at work reading this article, it took a lot to hold it in, particularly at the part at the end about the pillow:
no more spoilers you'll just have to read it for yourself, but its a bit long

You should see some of the 80's subtitling where it was done by the chinese company employee who had english as maybe a third language.

Apparently he believes kill, die, dead, and every variation there of is covered by kill.  As in "How did he kill?" instead of "How did he die."

They also apparently believe love, sex, getting laid, etc can all be covered with the word 'rape'.

There's an old book from the 90's i have devoted to teh subject.

Hummm... I wonder if all of it is used at once at any given time... Maybe you could host some game off of it? Lol, probably not worth it getting fired though

It isn't, the server has crap for hard drive space.  We're going to put multiple terabytes in it to fix that eventually.

Also, yeah, probably not worth getting fired about.   :P

I have an interview for a job next week that pays £36K ($57,333)!  In exactly the field I'm specialised in!  :D

Just got accepted for a job (which I cant legally tell you about) that pays £340,000/year. Its a little morally dubious but for that kind of money I don't care.
