Ε όχι και «Boomer», κ. Δαεμάνε! Καρατσεκαρισμένα μιλένιαλ και έχω μόνο 5 βαθμούς στους 20.

(Αντί «Blockbuster» βάζουμε οποιοδήποτε άλλο βιντεοκλάμπ, βέβαια.)

Πώς βρίσκω το υποκείμενο, Κυρία; Αλανησιώτικα!
Πολύ εφευρετική μέθοδος, αλλά γιατί γράφει στον πίνακα "12 Οκτώβριος";

Μακάρι να 'ξερα. Πάντως, επειδή κάτι τέτοια τα έχω δει και σε σχολεία εδώ, δεν θα με εξέπληττε αν ήταν σχολείο του εξωτερικού.
 
I think these would make interpreting sound checks much more interesting.
1) Instead of just saying "hello" or something boring, hum different bits of the Mission Impossible theme into the mic.
2) Impressions.
3) Try out bird calls.
4) Sing a folk song badly.
5) Fake having a deep conversation with someone else while "accidentally" leaving your mic on. Say something like "the doctor said it's my own fault for running so hard into that bush" or "look, I've told Bill Gates that seven million isn't enough" or the ever funny "yep, that's three rolls of tape, a hazmat suit, and 27 kgs of sausages. What do you mean they're frozen?"

Οι πόλεις Κιότο και Τόκιο είναι αναγραμματισμοί η μία της άλλης, αλλά έχουν και ένα άλλο κοινό χαρακτηριστικό: αν λες είτε τη λέξη "Κιότο" είτε τη λέξη "Τόκιο" συνεχώς και χωρίς παύση, καταλήγεις να λες το όνομα της άλλης πόλης (σε επανάληψη). Τώρα, τι σχέση έχει αυτό με το παραπάνω κλιπ που δείχνει τους υποστηρικτές της Καμάλα να φωνάζουν επανειλημμένα το όνομά της (Καμαλα, Καμαλα), θα το αφήσω στην φαντασια σας.

(εννοούσα "επανειλημμενα και χωρις ενδιαμεσες παυσεις" .... και οχι "συνεχώς και χωρίς παύση" ... δηλαδή "κιοτοκιοτοκιοτο..." και οχι "κκκιιιιοοοοττττοοο" - you know what I mean. Please amend the above and delete this post )

9 of the Most WTF Deaths in Literature

Κρατάω ιδίως αυτό:

As you’ve probably gathered, people can die of just about anything in classic literature. Random bear? Sure! Eating candles? Of course! Absolutely nothing? Why not!

In Bleak House by Charles Dickens, a character named Krook (a miserly old landlord who is constantly drunk and owns a very mean cat) spontaneously combusts completely out of nowhere, which is notable not just because it’s bizarre but also because of the controversy it caused back in 1852 when the work was published.

Charles Dickens was staunchly convinced that spontaneous combustion was possible and had been the cause of death for many; nineteenth-century scientists said otherwise, and were exasperated by Dickens’ attempts to legitimize it. Dickens even got into a ten month-long feud with George Lewes (a critic and philosopher, and George Eliot’s lover) over the whole thing.


Κι ελπίζω να μην είναι ράδιο αρβύλα τα τρίβια...

9 of the Most WTF Deaths in Literature


Κι ελπίζω να μην είναι ράδιο αρβύλα τα τρίβια...

Από παλιά:
  • Charles Brockden Brown's 1798 novel Wieland: or, The Transformation: An American Tale features the death of the Wieland family's patriarch via spontaneous human combustion during prayer within his property's temple.[36]
  • In the novel Redburn by Herman Melville published in 1849, a sailor, Miguel Saveda, is consumed by "animal combustion" while in a drunken stupor on the return voyage from Liverpool to New York.[37]
  • In the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, the character Mr. Krook dies of spontaneous combustion at the end of Part X. Dickens researched the details of a number of contemporary accounts of spontaneous human combustion before writing that part of the novel and, after receiving criticism from a scientist friend suggesting he was perpetuating a "vulgar error", cites some of these cases in Part XI and again in the preface to the one-volume edition.[38] The death of Mr. Krook has been described as "the most famous case in literature" of spontaneous human combustion.

Αλλά είχα ακούσει για την αυτανάφλεξη ανθρώπου πολύ πριν τη Wikipedia, το πιθανότερο από λογοτεχνία (μάλλον pulp, του συρμού) και ταινίες.
