Default this is too funny

I had sent my wife an email showing her what motors I would like for Christmas (or something close to it) and I asked her what she thought. I grew suspicious that she didn't even read it so I asked her a few specific questions about the motors I sent her...this is what she sent back to me...lol
Her responses are in Italic

Built entirely from brand-new parts. ok- its new

Sold outright, no cores required! Its solid

GM LQ9 iron 6.0 liter block (includes block plugs) Um...its as big as a pepsi bottle

4.000" Eagle 4340 forged steel crankshaft, balanced to rotating assembly you can crank it easily

4.000" Ross 2618 forged alloy pistons with -6.00cc dish (includes new rings and full-float pins) its made of a strong hi tech metal

402-CID displacement something is in the wrong place..but yet its suppose to be that way?

Eagle 6.125" H-beam rods it allows your head lights to do "high beam"

Includes new, factory-installed cam bearings; Clevite rod and main bearings it has new barring *****

11.3:1 compression ratio (nominal; ultimate compression ratio will depend upon heads and gaskets used) wow..i have no idea

Designed for naturally aspirated applications umm...allows for natural intake

Capable of supporting up to 600hp <-- ah ha! there is the HP

Meticulously assembled to OEM tolerances and specifications. High Factory Tolerences

Oil pump, timing chain, camshaft, pans, plates, and covers not included. You still have to buy stuff

ZL402 OEM-quality fender badges (pair). you get stickers for your car windows
