Spatula Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A teenage guitarist got so carried away while bouncing up and down on his bed mimicking a rock star that he flew out of a third floor window to his death, a Singapore newspaper reported Wednesday. The Straits Times said Li Xiao Meng, a 16-year-old from China who was studying at Singapore's Hua Business School, was a keen musician who liked to jump up and down while playing his guitar in his hostel room. "But on November 17 he took things a bit too far," the newspaper said, reporting on a coroner's court findings. Ruling death by misadventure, the court said evidence "points to the deceased unintentionally falling out of the window to his death when he was hyped up with exhilaration, jumping up and down on the bed placed against an open window while mimicking a rock guitarist."" Normally the windows were locked, the newspaper said, but students sometimes forced them open so they could smoke, something prohibited This kid needed a: Quote

Kelsain Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Still no luck on the Radic Color shirts. I've found a couple of websites that sell them, but I can only get altavista to translate about half of the info. Therefore, who knows if they'd ship international, let alone how much it would cost! I've bookmarked engrish.com and made it part of my morning log-in ritual at work. Quote

Mr March Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 That website is fantastic. "No kicking of balls" is a great sign Quote
Sdf-1 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Would there be a market for those, if someone imported them to US? Quote
memnon Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I noticed a lot of this kind of stuff during my trip to China last year. I wondered if I could actually make a living as a English proofreader over there. Quote
