"No Hablo Ingles"

Check out this Spanglish mess from an online language "Translator". I literally translated from Spanish to English. Never a BUENA idea!!

(first, in Spanish [or "Piggish Latin" as indicative of my limited vocab])

"...Perdon. Rod numero 2 (mi pololo) tambien le ha hido bien (pero un poquitito meeeenos bien que yo...ji ji). El es un poquitiiiiito mas flojito que yo. He estado con el por un ano y medio! Lo puedes creer! Como pasa el tiempo! Estamos contentos y igual con hartos carino."

(now in English, the literal translation...eek!! Where it could not find the word in English, it kept the Spanish word - so the result looks like a tossed salad of verbage.)

"...Sorry. Rod I number 2 (my pololo) also has hido to him or (but a poquitito meeeenos or that I... ji ji). It is a light poquitiiiiito but that I. I have been with by an anus and means! You can believe! As it spends the time! We are fed up contentments and equal with carino."

(what drugs were they smokin'??)

"P*SSY POWER!"

A terrified bear gets chased up a tree - by the family cat! "The unwelcome intruder was forced up a tree - twice - by the family pet, a tabby cat called Jack." (click on link)

I love it! That Jack's got some real cat-titude!! (thanks to Darce S. for her "copyrighted" word ;)

King Tut's "funny bone" (hee hee- did I say "Bone"?)

"AN ANCIENT riddle about the mummified remains of King Tutankhamun has been solved...

"When a team from Liverpool University X-rayed King Tutankhamun's body in 1968, about 3,300 years after the king’s death, they could find no sign of his penis. There was speculation that it had been stolen and sold to a private collector.(um, the collector who also had Rasputin's thingy in a jar? me wonders)

Actually, the Pharaoh's phallus was in phine phorm (couldn't resist alliteration...) when it was phound in the sand next to the mummified body. “It has always been there,” Professor Hawass told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation this week. “I found it during the scan when the mummy was lifted.”

“The pharaoh’s sex organ is clearly visible in Burton’s pictures; all was normal in King Tut. The penis is a highly vascularised organ and shrinks when it is mummified.”

sure, and George Costanza's wang-dang was shrivelled up just from being in the cold water...sure, sure...

"An Inconvenient Truth"

The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.

We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.

Just saw the film. I urge everyone to go and check it out if you can. Very well paced, interesting and easy to follow with respect to all the information that it discloses. While it may be disturbing (content-wise), it is also very informative and essential to see it as part of educating ourselves (and our friends and families), so collectively our actions can create real, tangible changes. I urge you to spread the word around about this film. It's a start!
