Tutto Il Resto

Obama y Uribe están en una cena en la Casa Blanca. Uno de los invitados se acerca y les pregunta:
¿Se puede saber cuál es el tema que los tiene tan animados?
Estamos haciendo los planes para desencadenar la 3ª Guerra Mundial, responde Obama. ¡¡UAU!! -exclama el invitado- y ¿se puede saber cuales son esos planes?
Vamos a matar 5 millones de chavistas y un ginecólogo.
El invitado confuso pregunta: ¿Un ginecólogo? Pero ¿por qué un ginecólogo?
Uribe le da una palmada a Obama y le dice:
¿No te dije? ¡¡¡Nadie va a preguntar por los chavistas!!!

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

According to this source, Abu Dhabi means “Father Deer”.

Let’s see- “NYU Father Deer”.  New York University Father Deer.  New York Father Deer University. New Deer Father York University. Deer York University New Father.

I can finally explain why I prefer “You’re welcome” to “no problem”: when someone thanks you, the polite thing to do is to accept gratitude in a gracious way. “You’re welcome” and “Don’t mention it” accept the gratitude, while “no problem” projects that the gratitude was not accepted because it was not necessary.

Yesterday I saw a TV commercial for American Express’s Take Part campaign, so I visited their web site at http://www.takepart.com/ and while browsing I stumbled upon an interesting article: How to Drink Water.  It seems like it should be simple enough, right? And yet, I think it is essential to read this piece and consider its ideas.
