    When Yao Ming was a teenager, he used to work at a factory stuffing fortune cookies. That's why he is always so full of wisdom. Listen to what he said in regard to fatigue affecting him.

    "I thought it would affect me. Being a professional player, it's something you have to deal with. You don't know what is going to happen, like when you pass the ball."
    -Yao Ming

    1. no, no fortune cookies in china

    2. they originate from san francisco

    3. and yes, if every wise quote from an asian guy makes you think of fortune cookies, then you probably have a very warped view of the world

    Wait a second, I thought it was obvious I made up the story. Ming played B-ball in his teenage years. I only brought that up because fortune cookies usually go with Chinese food, and has words of wisdom. Ming comes from China and is always saying words of wisdom. Yall should have a sence of humor.

    Chinese food comes with fortune cookies only in the US, but not elsewhere in the world.

    Haven't you taken enough abuse, TheBigMoe?

    We need to have an intervention.
