I saw this ad on TV few weeks back and I couldn't figure out why I was so uncomfortable watching it. I don't think I would mind having a cute polar bear in my freezer. So why is it so creepy?

I stumbled upon this sheep tranquillising reaction meter today:

There is a Facebook app that I spotted on my friends page and it pulls out statistics about people - imaginary I guess. But still it made me laugh:

A note on friend's Facebook pointed me to Bank Zachodni WBK's advertisments. This is a Polish bank that once has decided to use well known actors to promote it - which I would have probably known if I was still living there, but instead a French man visiting Poland for holidays made me aware of the BZ WBK ads. I googled them and had real fun watching them, I thought it is a bit of a shame that it only can be appreciated in full by the Polish, so I'm posting them here with transcripts, translated where needed.

I can't remember where I saw his work first, but I followed the links and found Nathan W Pyle's blog with some of the funniest posters I have seen in a while. They're witty, smart and to the point and it's just the kind of tongue-in-cheek humour I love.

I guess my favourite of all is the Danger Quiz, the "Yeti, machete, poison confetti" is going to be in my mind forever:

I bookmarked this video and then forgot all about it.

This caught my eye on my iGoogle page on Canada Day:

I have accidentally crashed my node_revisions table while I was updating an old post today. The error message was huge and at first I panicked... but since I have listened to my own advice I have a backup of my database so it wasn't that bad. Still, restoring a database this large is tedious and, in most cases, unnecessary.

I have noticed before that on many websites that have embeded YouTube video the frame seems to never align properly. While this is something that annoys me, I always thought it's due to ignorance or indifference of the blog and website owners and put up with it.

I have gotten my hands on the full list of Bibles with misprints and unusual readings and I decided to share some of the best with you:

Bug Bible (1535)

Dopadłam pęłną listę słynnych błędów zecerskich i chochlików drukarskich w Biblii (w angielskim tłumaczeniu).

Postanowiłam wrzucić najlepsze cudeńka:

“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:

Stwierdziłam, że niektóre zdania warto znać w każdym języku:

Je n’ai rien à voir dans cette affaire. - Nie mam z tym nic wspólnego.

"Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence."
Sholem Asch (1880 - 1957)

Di! Ecce hora! Uxor mea me necabit!
God, look at the time! My wife will kill me!
(Boze, ktora godzina! Zona mnie zabije!)

Mellita, domi adsum.
Honey, I’m home.
(Kochanie, jestem w domu.)
