I don't even have to worry about getting fat if I stop. It's just that I don't like being completely out of breath if I run for more than three steps.

I'll let Brentai field that one.

Whahuh? I'm on? Oh, um...

For comparison, the English spoken at the turn of the last millennium looked like this:
1000 AD: Wé cildra biddaþ þé, éalá láréow, þæt þú taéce ús sprecan rihte, forþám ungelaérede wé sindon, and gewæmmodlíce we sprecaþ...

2000 AD: We children beg you, teacher, that you should teach us to speak correctly, because we are ignorant and we speak corruptly...

Spoken English doesn't 'look' like anything. You're comparing written english. Otherwise the article is pretty good and not LOL OUR CHILDREN WILL BE SPEAKING TXTSPK AND LOLSPEAK at all.

Argh. This video is another peeve - 16:9 video stretched to 4:3. Print-screen the window, paste into MS Paint and stretch to 75% vertical. You'll see how ridiculously skewed the video is.

I have to assume this comes from DVD rips, where the ripping software--I'm guessing some DivX encoder, from the watermark--fails to detect anamorphic widescreen stored as 4:3.

i dont even know why this bugs me but.

how chinese when written out in roman characters has NO RELATION AT ALL WITH HOW IT IS ACTUALLY SAID.

why does transliterated japanese not suffer from this problem?

Brentai · « **Reply #506 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:20:52 PM »

Because Chinese consonants have a tendency to sound not at all like English ones, and not everybody's adopted the Pinyin standard for writing it out yet.

For a fun exercise, try to measure the distance between the cities of Beijing and Peking.

The automatic toilet I'm currently on has flushed twice while I've been working on my business. Unacceptable!

The stock market just fell like 700 points today or some shit because someone on the news said the recession has officially been occuring for an entire year

thank you panicked investors! I'm new at this whole stock thing and it's kind of surprising to see like $350 dollars evaporate into the internet or whatever like that.

Wait until they hear it's a depression.

I can do poop liveblogs if you're interested. Especially if Arc sets up some way for me to post pictures from my iPhone.

Heady, with a strong aroma, and a rich chestnutty flavor. Bold, yet smooth, best served at slightly below room temperature. Contrasts well with lemon juice and white spritzers.

Classic wonders if we ever had a thread for shooting the shit like this?

Actually, Spram kept a poop blog on Pyoko a long time ago.

So I was out buying school material for a 8-year-old girl (turns out letters for Santa from poor neighborhoods can be acquired at the post office and answered) and what do I see in the juvenile books section

A NOVELIZATION OF KUNG FU PANDA

And its copies covered like HALF the shelf
jesus christ I know this happened with disney before but at least you could say they were classic stories

(I bought her a book of Andersen fables so she'll grow up to be a fantasy nerd)
