i am getting married in under a week, and my groomsmen are insistent that we go to a strip-club. I have told them for months that i am not interested in going to a strip-club, but it seems they do not care. i have even told them that if they take me i will not go in i will sit in the car or walk somewhere to pick up a cab

why are many groomsmen so insistent about going to strip-clubs?

where did this "tradition" originate ?

what reason would i have to go when i am getting married?

do you think i am over reacting?

I am trying to find out how to hire someone to design a motherboard for a computer. but i have a few problems.

1) where do i find a motherboard designer?

2) what is the average cost to have a motherboard created?

3) what is an acceptable time to expect completion.

just to clarify I cannot use existing motherboards because of the size constrictions. also I am not looking for links to sites where I can buy a new motherboard. or a generic "hire a motherboard designer" reply. what I am looking for is names of companies or websites that I can contact to find information about hiring a designer. it is for a prototype product that i would like to get to market as soon as is viable.

additional information about where I can have small runs of the prototype board made for creation of beta test units would also be helpful.
