- clark24, on 12/23/2007, -0/+65D) All of the above
- GemStar38, on 12/23/2007, -0/+60"two of them escaped through the toilet bowl" - they saw their chance and took it.
- johnkyoungoh, on 12/23/2007, -2/+54Man they are like the Chinese Super Mario Bros.
- jpwhitmore, on 12/23/2007, -1/+48just watch out for meddling kids
- bluenash, on 12/23/2007, -0/+45how do you say "don't I feel stupid" in Chinese?
- trisquithere, on 12/23/2007, -2/+47damn. now those brothers are sitting on a FAT profit.
logic FTW - shabumike, on 12/23/2007, -2/+42Corn.
- seiha, on 12/23/2007, -2/+36how did the catfish survive. what did they eat?
- inactive, on 12/23/2007, -32/+63The fact that in 2007 people still believe in things like ghosts, angels, and jebus, depresses the ***** out of me.
- tkcom, on 12/23/2007, -2/+31LOLCATFISH
- drizzlelicious, on 12/23/2007, -0/+26我觉得非常笨 (wo jue de fei chang ben)
- Lasereth, on 12/23/2007, -6/+31A perfect example of what causes "hauntings" and "ghosts." Something that is far-fetched but certainly not supernatural. The guy above me is right -- I can't believe in 2007 that people still believe in ghosts.
- dgh1973, on 12/23/2007, -0/+22Those are some pretty resilient, ***** eating catfish.
- redxii, on 12/23/2007, -0/+20That's Scoobinese.
- logload, on 12/23/2007, -0/+18those catfish are probably scarier looking than any ghost.
- afx1, on 12/23/2007, -0/+18live in sewers?
- Klink258, on 12/23/2007, -0/+17Hey, you figured out step 2.
- inactive, on 12/23/2007, -2/+18IM IN UR PIPEZ
CREEPIN U OUT - macwac, on 12/23/2007, -0/+15It's quite common in China. They have something called ghost month where they burn gold money, give offerings etc.. and its extremely taboo to walk outside after 11pm without making noise etc.. to scare off ghosts so that they don't follow you home. its also common to light a lot of fireworks in the streets for that reason. Also a lot of buildings dont have a 4th floor as 4 (si - fourth tone) sounds a lot like si (not sure which tone) which means death. 4 is similar to 13 in the western world.. just a bit worse. More modern buildings have a 4th floor though.. A big hit with chinese is the number 8 (ba) which sounds similar to fa which means "luck" in Chinese. So people pay big money for phone numbers, license plates etc.. that contain as many 8 as possible. You might say its stupid... but its widely believed in, in China.
- Lasereth, on 12/23/2007, -1/+16*****.
- sorrytheusernam, on 12/23/2007, -1/+15Algae.
- KFantasy017, on 12/23/2007, -0/+11Best investment ever made.
- rarson, on 12/23/2007, -0/+10Or maybe the fish really were there, since there WAS something making a noise, and they knew it wasn't ghosts because they weren't dumb, so they decided to buy the place really cheap and try to get rid of the noise, knowing that the place would be worth a lot of money once stupid people weren't scared to live there.
- AsianChopsticks, on 12/23/2007, -0/+10That means I think dumb. So you're on the right track...
- graemee, on 12/23/2007, -0/+10Have you ever seen a Chinese river.
- geartype2, on 12/23/2007, -0/+10I can assure you that people here in the united states believe in ghosts just the same.
I once convinced a group from san francisco that the laundry room was haunted by a child that died in the dryer while playing. I ***** you not, 3 days later they replaced it out of complaints, and because the sheer amount of lit candles and flowers placed around it afterward were blocking people from actually cleaning their clothes. - kingmanic, on 12/23/2007, -1/+10China isn't homogeneous. There is several distinct cultures there and not everyone is so superstitious.
- DeFex, on 12/23/2007, -1/+10theres something fishy about this ghost.
- Insomniac33, on 12/23/2007, -1/+10Ancient Chinese secret, huh?
- mr5150, on 12/23/2007, -1/+9Aaargghh!...the Scooby Doo Gang could have solved this really quick......Sccoob where are youuuu!
- jtbandes, on 12/23/2007, -0/+8我觉得愚蠢.
- inactive, on 12/23/2007, -2/+10They probably ate those fish
- Zaeyde, on 12/23/2007, -0/+7Who you gonna call? Ghost Plumbers!
- manitoba98xp, on 12/23/2007, -0/+720x != 20 000% (20 x 100% = 2000%)
For the record, they sold it for 22.17x the purchase price, or a 2117% profit (100% less since the original price doesn't count as profit, and thus must be detected). - sgtbutterscotch, on 12/23/2007, -0/+6and flop around while haunting prospective buyers
- otakushark, on 12/23/2007, -1/+7I heard a noise I can't explain, so it must be a ghost.
I saw a light in the sky I can't explain, so it must be an alien spacecraft.
I watched a guy bend a spoon on TV, so he must have psychic powers.
Pretty much anything "paranormal" starts out just like this. - echolalia, on 12/23/2007, -0/+5What the owners ate...
- sgtbutterscotch, on 12/23/2007, -0/+5Weren't the originals Italian stereotypes from the perspective of the Japanese anyway?
- yoshitomi, on 12/23/2007, -1/+6Me too. But I'd never tell my girlfriend this because she's a firm believer in "everything", as she says. Whatever people need to do to make them happy, I suppose.
- curiousgrge, on 12/23/2007, -0/+5I supposed you're going to tell me next there isn't a Santa Claus?
- pencilneck, on 12/23/2007, -0/+5A story soon to be filed as "false" by Snopes. No digg.
- WestonP, on 12/23/2007, -0/+4While there certainly are scientific explanations for many cases of alleged hauntings, we still have to have an open mind to the possibility that there are things that science cannot currently explain, no matter how unconventional they may seem. Without that attitude and desire to explore the unknown, science would never progress.
- cyborg, on 12/23/2007, -3/+7I shat a brick when I saw how much profit they made.If they sold it for $133k and only paid $6k for it, then they made 20x what they paid for it, or got roughly a 20,000% profit.
- cerealjynx, on 12/23/2007, -0/+4I wanna do this kinda stuff for a living.
- krusader3z, on 12/23/2007, -2/+6What you *really* suppose is to ignore the blonde comments so you can get in it
- JoshChan, on 12/23/2007, -1/+5I heard a book called Bible which everybody calls the book of God, so God must exist.
- infection0, on 12/23/2007, -0/+4Sounds like an alternative ending to Finding Nemo
- Pinkertinkle, on 12/23/2007, -3/+7Me Chinese me play joke, me put catfish in your condominium's sewer tank.
- bsolidgold, on 12/23/2007, -0/+4They're, There, and Their... the writer needs to learn the difference.
