And now we're in chitchat land. :cool:

That article is basically unreadable. It looks like it was translated from some foreign language into English using Google Translate.

Oh jeezus not this thread again.

Who knows. That might just be the Holy Grail.

I'd buy more except I've run out of money from the last double. :cool:
