  • How does that feel?

    “An Indonesian Supreme Court hopeful may have torpedoed his chances at the job after suggesting that women might enjoy being raped, infuriating a wide array of critics.” (link)

    Two things.

    1. If you can’t say something bad about rape, don’t say anything at all.
    2. It is scary that the article states “infuriating a wide array of critics” rather than “…infuriating every sane person”.

    It reminds me of one of the best Kids in the Hall sketches:  

  • Well, now that we’re alone

    For those of you not in the know:

    That is all for today.

  • En Français: Jean-Bob et Optimus, part 1

    When learning a language, I particularly relish being absurd.

    Jean-Bob Barker: “Bonjour! Quelle huere est-il?”
    Optimus Prime des Autobots: “Il est quatre heures. Pourquoi?”
    JB: “J’ai besoin d’acheter un grand magasin parce que j’ai perdu mon portefeuille.”
    OP: “Sacreblue!”
    JB: “Merci.”
    OP: “De rien.”
    JB: “Au revoir. N’oubliez pas de stériliser les Decepticons!”

    Translated:

    JB: “Hello! What time is it?”
    OP: “It is 4 o’clock. Why?”
    JB: “I need to buy a department store because I lost my wallet.”
    OP: “Sacreblue!”
    JB: “Thanks.”
    OP: “You’re welcome.”
    JB: “Goodbye. Remember to sterilize the Decepticons!”
