Thanks to my colleague who emailed this link around work today, most of us here now have very sore tummys (from trying not to break-out in a laughing fit in front of our monitors).

its a classic case of direct translation gone wrong.. :P

if my chinese serves me correctly... "fuck silk" in 1313 would actually mean something like "stir-fry"...
