The Opid

I recently received my first performance related bonus at work. I was harassing my bosses for quite a while about needing an Ipod for all kinds of work related things, and they eventually agreed that they would get me an MP3 player if I could get 70% of our clients into work within 5 weeks. Eventually we got 80% of clients into work within 6 weeks, and I was presented with..... THE OPID.

The Opid is, I suspect, China's answer to the Ipod. One of it's most excellent features is the manual, which has apparently been translated into English by someone who has never spoken/read English before in their life.

So my new debate is this, which of the following 2 phrases seems least relevant to someone seeking guidance on how to use an MP3 player?

The format chemical engineering see first have, the choice" cent area and encrypt" options

OR

The knife man - impulsive punishment:Broadcast the level is smooth to roll over.

I wish I could provide some context for either of those phrases, but the rest of the manual makes no more sense.

well, in evaluating both of those very intellectual sentences, extracting some key words from there, we are left with chemical engineering and knife man.....the rest of the sentences make less sense, so we will base our hypotheses on these two phrases....

chemical engineering includes smart people that might have had some sort of training in some high tech field one time or another.....

the knife man includes some sort of hooligan who might cause to do harm to us do-gooders who might be wandering the streets minding our own business....I mean, he might want to steal our opid, but not likely....

so therefore, the answer is the knife man seems less relevant.....

that is all...

Clearly the knife man is the more relevant - after all there are few more dangerous things than a man with a knife listening to music on his Opid. He could be driven insane after a nasty practical joke where his Opid is filled entirely with spice girls songs, so much that he lashes out at the nearest (or slowest) person near to him. Now if only he were at anfield when this outburst occured. . . he'd fit right in . . . .
