  1. Chinese is a moderately trivial wasting of life?! Damn! I been wasting like 25 years of my life than.

    So what do you want to invest in? Surely, I would suggest investing in Yin Trust Fund. — Yin    Apr 20, 12:44 PM    #

  2. Chinese is nearly as as useless as English. All the Wall Street crowd is picking up Esperanto. — Tom    Apr 21, 06:15 PM    #
