Until the 1950s, Tibetans disposed of their dead by taking the body up a hill, hacking it into little pieces, and feeding the remains to the birds.

A group of unicorns is called a blessing. A group of kangaroos is called a mob. A group of whales is called a pod. A group of geese is called a gaggle. A group of owls is called a parliament. A group of ravens is an unkindness. A group of crows is a murder. A group of bears is called a sleuth. Twelve or more cows is called a flink.

deci murder mob sunt canguri si ciori. parliament blessing sunt bufnite si inorogi.

it is true that horses CAN sleep standing up, but to really sleep deeply a horse actually does need to lay down. horses sleep standing up so they can run away faster if attacked.

wrong is the new right

A London scientist has authored a paper arguing angels as classically depicted, mostly-human forms with wings, would be unable to fly.

Professor Roger Wotton of University College London wrote in his paper, which was published by the school's Opticon magazine, that human-appearing angels with feathered bird-like wings would not be able to use the wings for flight, The Daily Telegraph reported.

"Even a cursory examination of the evidence in representational arts shows that angels and cherubs cannot take off and cannot use powered flight," Wotton wrote. "And even if they used gliding flight, they would need to be exposed to very high wind velocities at take off -- such high winds that they would be blown away and have no need for wings."

Wotton's paper also took aim at fantasy depictions of fairies with the wings of butterflies.

"The distortion of the thorax needed for flight in fairies with butterfly wings would be exceedingly uncomfortable," the paper read. "For sure, fairies don't fly."

haaaaa haaaaaaa hai

cå a dat båiatu åsta cu stiinta ca domnul nostru Stefan cu paloshu.

dar ce m-a bucurat si mai mult e cå bå, imi dau seama cå povestile tre så existe la fel ca aerul si apa.

nu pentru cå dacå n-ar fi, nu s-ar povesti si stiinta tare råu s-ar plictisi.

se laudå: stiinta este preciså, stiinta este exactå. foarte bine.
påi atunci inseamnå cå trebuie så aibå si un sfarsit.



chiar.

paradoxal, så ajungå stiinta så demonstreze cå stiinta e gresitå.

ca si cum ti-ai manca capul. stomacul så-ti chioråie si subtitrarea så zicå: "mi-am mancat capul. mmm."

ar tzopåi toti oamenii de stiintå de bucurie, aplauze, "i-am dat-o-n cap!", gata munca, viata lor ar cåpåta un nou sens pentru cå, pentru prima oarå, nimic nu ar mai avea niciun sens. we were wrong all this time, and i've never felt happier! cand gresesti fatå de ceva gresit, e totul ooo-cheeeeeei.

si si-ar arunca toti halatele-n aer de bucurie, tot circul åsta in timpul unui of-cat-de-scurt orgasm sinapsic, cand, chiar si pentru o unghie de nano-secundå, toti neuronii se iau frumusel de manutå si cantå in cor aaaaa-leeeeluuuu-iaaaa!

si apoi ar urma.

wait. what?!

dar stai, cå nu ar mai exista nimic corect, ca så zici cå ai gresit. (mai putin legile firii gen, bå nu-ti dau cu piatra-n cap, cå te iubesc) de fapt, n-ar avea nici cum så zicå a doua oarå "am realizat cå am gresit". ce-i corect? ce-i gresit? n-ar sti nici cum så explice ceea ce tocmai au gåsit, pentru cå in atat de putin timp incat e aproape pe minus, s-ar anula totul in capul lor. si probabil ar incerca så schitzeze o demonstratie care, desi ar incepe promitåtor, ar suna cam

everything was wrong. what the hell is right anyway?
blue tomato is the new right. and a blue tomato is just like a tomato, only blue.
i'm happy.

si, the story goes, unora le-a explodat atunci capul, altii si-au bågat pula si s-au apucat de surf iar restu si-au acoperit instinctiv urechile pentru cå acel mic gand era asa de puternic incat credeau cå vine din afara lor, urlat cu decibelii unui boeing. si-au bågat mana in foc, au simtit durere si au inceput så se intrebe de ce. (durere-fricå-curiozitate-s-a-strigat-bingo)

si au luat-o de-acolo.

si si-au petrecut restul vietii demonstrand cå stiinta nu e gresitå, construind totul in jurul simplei axiome, "de ce?" "pentru cå AU!!". generatiile au curs una dupå alta ca apa de la robinet si au dus mai departe totul pana la iphone si google earth si incå o mai duc. si o vor mai duce.

unii au luat acel "AU!!", au inventat un "mega-AU!!" si l-au transformat in "Vrei så nu mega-AU?". si au avut copii care au avut copii cu alti copii. si copiii åia au scris

dumnezeu a fost intai explicat, tradus, scris si rescris - si apoi simtit, pe cand cu dragostea s-a intamplat exact invers.

si apoi altii au zis love is a dog.

si cum cu timpul, secretul bine påstrat este si mai bine uitat, lumea s-a pishat pe mituri gen "stiinta a demonstrat cå stiinta este gresitå", cum te pisi pe pastila de såpun in pisoar. nimeni n-are timp de prostii, suntem mereu preocupati de cum så nu "AU!!" cat mai lin si cat mai frumos.

poate si d-aia n-am observat cå åia care si-au bågat atunci pula si s-au apucat de surf n-au murit niciodatå.



tocmai m-am intors de la imaginarium of dr parnassus. it's pretty. si terry gilliam e zeu. spune acolo cå nimeni si nimic nu poate opri o poveste. au incercat, si s-au fåcut povesti despre cum au incercat så opreascå o poveste.

Cråciun fericit deci. cu sånåtate si pace-n suflet si fie ca lumina.
si o poveste ca asta meritå mai mult de 2 zile pe an.

cå dacå n-ar fi, nu s-ar povesti, dulcile doamne n-ar mai zambi si noi la loc in copac ne-am sui.

Hristos a-nviat!

KALUGA, Russia (UPI) -- Russian police said a female hairdresser was arrested for allegedly keeping an unsuccessful armed robber bound as a sex slave for two days.

Web site Life.ru quoted police as saying the 32-year-old man entered the hair salon at about 5 p.m. March 14, brandished a gun and demanded money from workers and customers, The Moscow Times reported Wednesday.

However, the 28-year-old hairdresser, who had martial arts training, disarmed the man and bound him hair-dryer cord.

Police told Life.ru that the woman then allegedly kept the man gagged and handcuffed to a radiator for 48 hours. She is accused of forcing him to take Viagra and forcing him to have sex with her multiple times.

The woman let her prisoner go March 16 and he went to police after seeking treatment for injuries to his genitals.

Sex shop past haunts florist

REIGATE, England (UPI) -- A florist shop in southern England is haunted by its past as a purveyor of adult DVDs and sex toys -- every morning when the front window mists up.

Clare Ross, owner of Willows, told The Telegraph she sponges the window every morning when the words "licensed sex shop" appear on the wet glass over the Interflora sign. The next morning, the reminder that the shop was once called Pillow Talk is back.

"We are trying to sell love and romance, not sex," she said.

Willows is located in Reigate, a quiet market town in Surrey.

When the letters first turned up, Ross tried hard to exorcise them. The problem was that glue used to hold the letters of the old sign had gotten into the glass, and a professional cleaner equipped with scouring pads tried lighter fluid and rubbing alcohol but could not get the lettering out.

Ross contemplated replacing the glass but then a funny thing happened -- she got used to the sign.

"People come in to ask us if we realize there is sex shop emblazoned on our window and end up buying flowers, so maybe we'll keep it," she said.

jiffy. mai scurt decat iti ia så zici jiffy.

A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time. It is 1/100 of a second.

nu o så pierd timpul intrebandu-må de ce jiffy, pentru cå as cadea in traista filosofilor care in loc så zicå "imi place!" si så mai muste o datå, pierd timpul intrebandu-se "de ce imi place?"

asa cå.

por fin!
cineva a inventat asta. acum se pot måsura cu precizie momentele importante, dar din påcate prea scurte ale vietii, cum ar fi såritul de pe o cåråmidå. sau orgasmul la bårbati.

imi place jiffy. e.f.m.r, asa cum e el, dar are personalitate.
cred cå-mi ia (cå e sub 50) cam 60 (opa, nu, e peste 50) - cred cå-mi iau cam 60 de jiffies så scriu jiffy.
jiffy.

ar putea så-mi ia si mai putini jiffy så scriu jiffy.

jiffy.
40-50. nush, cå n-am jiffymetru.

ba nu. mint. imi ia vreo secundå. dacå mi-as putea pozitiona degetele in forma de "jiffy" pe tastaturå, si så dau o datå, så aparå jiffy.
da da stiu, are doi de f.
noi så fim fericiti måcar un jiffy pe minut.

mai incerc.

cå ce pula mea, doar sunt din generatia mirc. scriu si må uit la ce-am scris si nu la ce voi scrie. simt cå mircul a fost pentru mine cam cum a fost "membru de partid" pentru tata. cu toate cå tata nu a fost membru de partid. dar dacå ar fi fost, atunci chestia asta ar fi reprezentat pentru el cam ce a reprezentat mircul pentru mine.
asa simt eu.
am invatat din el, dar nu as mai face-o niciodatå.

asa cå dragi si drage fosti si foste mircåri si mircårite, sper så cheltuiti måcar 28 de jiffies amintindu-vå cum era cand erati mai scunzi si mai blanzi, atunci cand vå voi ura un cålduros

At an extravagant party during the reign of William III, the Hon. Edward Russel, captain general of the English forces, used the fountain in his garden as a giant punch bowl for mixing his drinks. The recipe included 560 gallons of brandy, 1,300 pounds of sugar, 25,000 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, and 5 pounds of nutmeg.
