Wish Long Zheng a Happy Birthday

Long Zheng, previously a wooden puppet but now a real boy, is celebrating his birthday today. This world has had to endure 21 years of him… an amazing feat. For those unable to personally deliver a birthday wish (because he’s stealthier than Bin Laden), don’t worry! Using some left over Microsoft PDC swag and a dab of Gorilla Glue, I have put together a mechanism that will electronically deliver a birthday wish with a single click!

Simply click the cake below and let my machine take care of the rest. Please don’t click it more than once, though, as it saps bandwidth from the Internets with every click. To would-be abusers – I will hunt you down and drown your pet fishes. Don’t push me.

Update: The machine has been switched off now. Thanks for trying it out!

Happy Birthday Long Zheng!

The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.

    If this is a social experiment to get people to voluntarily send spam, it’s working :)

    I clicked twice Rafael. I’m seriously considering clicking again as I have no pet fish.

    Happy Birthday Long!!!

    Edit: Screw it, I’m clicking again…..

    LOL I couldn’t resist clicking thrice because of the Pinocchio analogy.

    Long’s About page now needs updating. :) It still says he’s 20.

    He’ll kill the fish by dumping them in the Windows 7 Starter fish bowl, and wait.
