    Is there really any doubt in your mind that it's fake?

    Poor guy, I can bring him back 10 more after my next trip to Shanghai. It is amazing how people can still believe in the tooth fairy.

    Unfortunately, this story has been broadcast everywhere in the last 24 hours. Wonder how many poor suckers are going to lose their shirts when they too discover an 1804 dollar from China on eBay, and go without meds or food for a year to pay for it.

    Incidentally, there are about a dozen listed on eBay right now.

    That "journalist" should be made to select his own switch before he gets whipped.

    Not likely (I believe that was a different date) but it would not surprise me if it had a reeded edge, I know the one I have does. image
