The joke is that Elbox will never release the Shark or the dragon for that matter


And jokes generally lose some comedic value once they have to be explained.   :roll:

But it makes me think: I understand that there are a number of cultures which lack a concept of sarcasm (probably a good thing.)  This is especially exhibited in its language as changing inflections actually change the meanings of a word.  Anyone on AO from one of these cultures or countries?

jokes are even unfunnier if they aren't understood. or kept as in joke. is this an official statement from the company then? i'd like to read it! otherwise it sounds like trolling. :evil:


You want the official word, then go to the real website, copy and paste their words to a post and include a citation.

Otherwise what you read on the Internet is just conjecture, or trolling.  ESPECIALLY around here :-P
