Ill Logic Board

So, my computer picked a fairly inconvenient time to fail me. Last night the screen began to flicker wildly and then froze. After a restart, the display no longer came on at all. Luckily, my model happens to be covered under the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program, and will be repaired free of charge by Apple.

Tonight I wrote a paper with a pen, on paper. It was weird.

Beh Loghmân pand âmukhtan

Quite possibly the funniest dictionary entry ever written:



UPDATE!

I had no idea that "teaching one's grandmother to suck eggs" was an actual English idiom. The Persian phrase in the dictionary (Beh Loghmân pand âmukhtan) means "to give Loghman advice", which corresponds to the English idiom's meaning, which is to offer advice to an expert.

Teach not thy parent’s mother to extract
The embryo juices of the bird by suction.
The good old lady can that feat enact,
Quite irrespective of your kind instruction.

Ladrones Desnudos

Something rather amusing happened in El Salvador. The funniest part (to me at least) is that both of them have Ninja Turtle names.

I was pretty proud of myself last year when I figured out that Miguel Ángel = Michael Angel = Michelangelo.
