Whenever I see a scroll I always expect a explosion when someone reads it

Whoever did it was either bored or slapping keys on a computer to make pretty chinese or japanese symbols
dude fuck that shit. ^^
Holy shit. I have those same socks on right now.
It says 'ur a faget'

I pulled the text from the picture, and now I'm trying to find an OCR program to translate it. [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/23s97yt.png[/img]
Watch out, Bethesda might sue you now.
That is an old script for sure. Can you check the square stamps near the top right and bottom left, and see if they are in a different style of writing than the main portion of the scroll itself? Better yet, can you give me a close-up of the stamps? I have to say though, if those are hand-done, they are really damn good.

Left most column, 9th and 10th rows are the symbols for the Chinese New Year, most likely an address of sorts.
It's clearly an invitation to the upcoming Mortal Kombat tournament. You must go and save Earthrealm
I'm half Chinese and this looks like some old-ass dialect, somewhere between when characters were almost literally drawings and what we know today, I'll ask my mom if she understands any of it when I get the chance
It's a 百寿图 (Bai Shou Tu, literally Hundred Age Diagram/Scroll of Longevity), used as birthday gifts.

Snip - double post
I read mandarin, but this is some very old traditional writing (like, hundreds of years ago). Chances are most people won't be able to read it even if they can read normal mandarin. Gotta find an expert. Also these kinds of scrolls are common decorations. Most likely not going to be worth a lot. Maybe 10 bucks.
[QUOTE=Zedicus Mann;32951025]OP will live to be 100?[/QUOTE] I don't think it's for OP... If you look to the left there is a column of characters: 百壽全圖歲次癸末春節龍江赫哲族哈普都.雋明書?古票末江南?紫石齊鐙下 So it's written by 哈普都.雋明 from the 赫哲族 (HeZhe Clan) in 癸末春節 (Spring Festival of 2003). Apparently he is quite a famous caligrapher [URL="http://xbsh.net/author/812.html"]http://xbsh.net/author/812.html[/URL] I'm not sure who it's directed to though, someone/organization in Jiangnan by the name of ?紫石. Anyway the scroll is just a hundred ways to write the character "壽", which means life/longevity. Source: [URL="http://baike.baidu.com/view/464152.htm"]http://baike.baidu.com/view/464152.htm[/URL]
It is a fortify health scroll.

Even though it's apparently bound to a different person/organization permanently, it makes a nice display piece.
