Oh. My. God. FINALLY.
Yes. Real stoked on this.
This is quite possibly the best thing ever.
(via First Look at Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs) Today, TMZ posted photos (courtesy of Pacific Coast News) of Kutcher on the set of the film tentatively titled ‘Jobs: Get Inspired.’ Dressed in a black turtleneck and faded jeans. The similarities are remarkable.
Wow. He walks.
An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a German are all standing watching a street performer do some excellent juggling. The juggler notices that the four gentlemen have a very poor view, so he stands up on a large wooden box and calls out, “Can you all see me now?”
“Yes.”
“Oui.”
“Sí.”
“Ja.”
My favorite language joke:
Four linguists were sharing a compartment on a train on their way to an international conference on sound symbolism. One was English, one Spanish, one French and the fourth German. They got into a discussion on whose language was the most eloquent and euphonious.
The English linguist said: “Why, English is the most eloquent language. Take for instance the word “butterfly”. Butterfly, butterfly… doesn’t that word so beautifully express the way this delicate insect flies. It’s like flutter-by, flutter-by.”
“Oh, no!” said the Spanish linguist, “the word for “butterfly” in Spanish is “maripose”. Now, this word expresses so beautifully the vibrant colours on the butterfly’s wings. What could be a more apt name for such a brilliant creature? Spanish is the most eloquent language!”
“Papillon!” says the French linguist, “papillon! This word expresses the fragility of the butterfly’s wings and body. This is the most fitting name for such a delicate and ethereal insect. French is the most eloquent language!”
At this the German linguist stands up, and demands: “Und vot is rongk mit ‘SCHMETTERLING’?”
