Gratuitous link to the rather funny chinese lip synch video that's making the rounds.
What happens when you translate the lyrics from Shaft into Chaucerian-style English.
Flight Hello Kitty. No clue what they're putting into the oxygen over there.
Are you sure you haven't broken the law today?
Cereality has patents pending to give them an exclusive right to six business methods, including "displaying and mixing competitively branded food products" and adding "a third portion of liquid."

A unique system that can produce Hydrogen inside a car using common metals such as Magnesium and Aluminum was recently developed by an Israeli company. I see. It's sooo much simpler to go to the store and pick up some magnesium. Why didn't I think of that?
