Who said anything about prostitution? I want to buy a couple hundred kid avatars and put them to work 15-18 hours per day for 3L/20 minutes making knock off Nike's and fake Gucci bags. No bathroom or lunch breaks. I'll sell the products to KMart and Kathie Lee Gifford. I'll be rich, I tell you, RICH!!!

This is just insane for an NPC. This is YEARS from a commercial product.

Sweet! They have the same system I do, except my monitor and graphics card are better and I have more RAM.

Wait, isn't this the thread about lying about our RL?

Yeah, academia doesn't usually think that way. (at least, i think that's what my school is trying to drill into my head)
