Just heard someone pronounce the “Weber” in Weber Grill like the name of the German sociologist. Time to move, rent’s about to go up.

Scholars are set to undertake a "thorough technical and scientific study" of the painting, which was previously attributed to the circle of Spanish artist José de Ribera. ow.ly/A3ZO50EnPDX

Sometimes I'll catch my reflection in the rearview mirror while driving and stare longingly in to my own eyes. It can get quite dangerous

La vie tragique et méconnue de l'acteur Robert Lynen. Enfant star du cinéma français, en particulier pour son rôle dans "Poil de Carotte" de Julien Duvivier avec Harry Baur (1932), il sera fusillé par les Allemands à l'âge de 23 ans, en 1944, avec 13 de ses camarades résistants.

Hommage : connu de tous, Poil de carotte est aussi un héros de guerre oublié ! Il est d'ailleurs fusillé le 1er avril 1944 par les Allemands.

A professor of mine went to go hear Derrida speak once. The entire talk was about cows; everyone was flummoxed but listened carefully, and took notes about...cows. There was a short break, and when Derrida came back, he was like, “I’m told it is pronounced ‘chaos.’” – at Philadelphia, PA

Important reminder that the word 'muscle' comes from the Latin for 'mouse' (mus) in its diminutive form, 'musculus'. The Romans thought that rippling muscles looked like 'little mice' running around under the skin!
