    Can someone explain how this Chinese spam we're getting works?
    Is it completely computer generated now or is there still some are##hole sitting  in his bedroom surrounded by dirty socks and mouldering takeaways pressing buttons on his computer?
    Why are there fewer spam posts now that when it started?

    Maybe @B3 the spam filters have been beefed up?

    @pauline1 and now you've shared the joke I bet you're wishing you hadn't

    I guess there may be fewer 'cos they've all gone back to China, with or without their degrees, now that uni has closed for vacation

    H&B Both seem to be reasonable explanations. Maybe the spammer has got RSI

    Why does a mouse when it spins?
    Because the higher it flies, the fewer.

    Can someone explain the joke please?

    I don't get them either Fire, but didn't like to ask in case I was missing something. (As well as my marbles ).

    I obviously need to lie down in a dark room and rest my brain.

    Probably a loose translation from the Chinese then. I bet it's a hoot in the original language

    The only sort of jokes I can remember are along the same lines as josusa's. 
    "what's brown and sticky?
    A stick"
    type of thing

    My Dad used to tell really excruciating long corny jokes that went on for half an hour at least. He was a physiotherapist and used to have these jokes to keep his patients' minds off the treatment. I think the treatment generally hurt less than the punch lines
