Jævla forbanna satans komfyrvakt-helvetesrennedrit
Jeg har lest hele bruksanvisningen, jeg har skiftet batteri, jeg har dratt ut støpselet, jeg har tatt sikringen 30 jævla ganger, jeg har trykt alle de 894 482 kombinasjonene av knapper på den satans lille magnetiske plastrotta i taket. Jeg driter langt og stinkende faen i at jeg ikke får middag i dag, men jeg TAKLER ikke mer av den helvetes jævla pipinga!
Nå har jeg funnet fram øksa og vil bare vite hvor i dypeste svarte helvete inni dette humbug-skaberakkelet den kukjævlige høyttaler-dingsen sitter. Noen som vet? Den er inne i selve platetoppen et sted, og den lever videre uten strøm som en slags faens udødelig zombie!
Hvis noen også har navn og adresse til oppfinneren av dette satans rukkelet, så er det også velkomment.

Chinese Zhungpiao notes: Genuine or reprints?
I've had these [Zhungpiao notes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuangpiao), ostensibly from the early 1900s, lying around forever. But I always assumed they were modern replicas, because the print quality just looked more like a photographic reproduction than an engraving (with the coarse printing and the broken, "dot-y" lines), and also because, well, China is notorious for replicas being sold as real. Deliberate fakes is a big industry, and even if these aren't very valuable, a ton of historical banknotes were reprinted as souvenirs in the 1980s.
But just now a large lot of these came up on Heritage's Hong Kong office, I trust they have done their research, and I noticed some of the banknotes have that same coarse, grainy printing. For instance [this one](https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/ha?p=3-3-9-6-5-33965334&it=product).
Does anyone collect or have any experience with these, who can tell me if this kind of print quality is normal for the era?
