    Wouldn't $4300 be a heck of a lot of money for a Chinese farmer? Forget the time or skill, where are they getting the money?!

    I would've imagined farming in China is a hardcore, full-time business. Where do they find time to build submarines???

    and I just did a urban-dictionary search for "gaffa," and apparently that means duct-tape - which is alot more logical than engineered humans...at least to me anyways.

    @GarrickNemesis: "gaffa" is actually a mispronunciation of "gaffer", as in gaffer's tape. It's a cloth tape used in the theatre and film industries. It's definitely NOT duct/duck tape.

    @FredicvsMaximvs: You are correct, but in the UK gaffer tape is used in similar DIY situations that duct tape is used for in the states.

    @GarrickNemesis: Actually the topsoil is receding in the vast majority of China, leaving behind non-fertile desert sand. I would tend to believe that Chinese farmers are getting more and more free time by the day... and probably without affecting their financial status, to boot.

    Some say Chinese are superior because they inherently know how to work together as a group. Well, I think they may be superior on the isolated individual crazy genius inventor front, too.

    Wow! I think it's amazing that poor farmers in a Communist country, with little or no personal expertise in those fields can build such things. Yet, in America you'd be hard pressed to find a High School student who could even point to China on a map. Amazing or sad?

    And we're worried about the Chinese and Russian Governments...

    These Chinese farmers are probably building and stock piling weapons of mass destruction. They'll rule Asia as "The Peoples Republic of Chinese Farmers."

    OK, these people are obviously growing marijuana. Everyone knows that pot doesn't lead to other drugs, it leads to carpentry. These are also bongs!

    Farmers driving their bongs down the Yellow River Road. Pull the bong over man, I wanna take a hit!

    @citizen024: gaffa? You mean modified humans genetically engineered by the Goa'uld in antiquity to serve as soldiers and as incubators for their young.

    I hate stories that are so sad there really is nothing funny one can type without it being considered unacceptable. That is very sad to see.
