More links coming our way from http://respek.afisha.ru/ a Russian site that seems to be called Respek. Also on their page: eating food from records. I'm not kidding. Here's what they had to say...

"Наши немецкие (кто бы сомневался?) друзья-художники из кельнской группы fur уже несколько лет совершенствуют экспериментальный игровой автомат PainStation — чуть ли не единственный в мире механизм, воплощающий идею Клауса-Марии Брандойера из «Никогда не говори "никогда"»: награждать проигравшего страшной болью. Основа PainStation — игра Pong. Одной рукой участники двигают ракетку, а другую кладут на пыточное устройство, которое поджаривает ладонь, бьет ее током и — в последней версии — хлещет дизайнерскими плетками. Кто первый снял руку, тот проиграл. Йа! Йа! Мер! (А вот, кстати, интервью с создателями на Little Mathletics)."

Or, roughly translated...

"Our German (who would doubt?) friend- artists of the Cologne group fur already several years improve the experimental play automaton PainStation - almost the only in the world mechanism, which personifies Klausa- Mary brandoyer's idea from "never speak never" "": to reward that lost to terrible pain. Basis PainStation - game Pong. Participants move racket one hand, and another they place to the torture device, which fries palm, it beats by its current and - in the last version - it lashes by designer lashes. Who the first removed hand, that lost. 1a! 1a! Measures! (A here, by the way, interview with the creators on Little Mathletics)."

That's actually the most intelligent link to us yet (no offense, GSW, but you didn't quote Klausa- Mary Brandoyer...not that I know who that is). I also like the fact that they're paying out on Germans. Comedy gold.

1a! 1a! Measures!
