xkcd – Un webcòmic d'amor, sarcasme, matemàtiques i llenguatge

Ja ens havíem ocupat de xkcd anteriorment. Aviso que l'entrada d'avui serà força friki.

Moment angular


— Què fas?
— Girar en el sentit contrari de les agulles del rellotge. Robant moment angular del planeta. Disminuint encara que només sigui una mica la velocitat de gir del planeta. Allargant la nit, endarrerint el trenc d'alba. Donant-me una mica més de temps per estar amb tu.

El problema amb la Viquipèdia


No crec que calgui gaire traducció...

Sandwich


— Fes-me un sandwich.
— Què? Fes-te'l tu!
— Sudo fes-me un sandwich.
— D'acord.

Vegeu també per exemple "Purity", "Cat proximity", "Ninja turtles", entre molts d'altres.

Gibraltar as a girl

Los últimas 152 palabras de Ulysses, de James Joyce:

[...] and the glorious sunsets and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens yes and all the queer little streets and pink and blue and yellow houses and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

("[...] y las estupendas puestas de sol y las higueras en los jardines de la Alameda sí y todas esas callejuelas raras y casas rosas y azules y amarillas y rosaledas y el jazmín y los geranios y los cactus y Gibraltar de niña donde yo era una Flor de la montaña sí cuando me ponía la rosa en el pelo como las chicas andaluzas o me pongo roja sí y cómo me besó al pie de la muralla mora y yo pensé bueno igual da él que otro y luego le pedí con los ojos que me lo volviera a pedir sí y entonces me pidió si quería yo decir sí mi flor de la montañay primero le rodeé con los brazos sí y le atraje encima de mi para que él me pudiera sentir los pechos todos perfume sí y el corazón le corría como loco y dije sí quiero Sí.")

The Party's slogan

War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength


War is Peace:

I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.

George W. Bush, June 18, 2002

Freedom is Slavery:

Honor Bound to Defend Freedom

Motto of the Joint Task Force Guantanamo
(charged with running the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp)

Ignorance is Strength:

A new study based on a series of seven US polls conducted from January through September of this year reveals that before and after the Iraq war, a majority of Americans have had significant misperceptions and these are highly related to support for the war in Iraq. [...] The frequency of these misperceptions varies significantly according to individuals’ primary source of news. Those who primarily watch Fox News are significantly more likely to have misperceptions. [...]

An in-depth analysis of a series of polls conducted June through September found 48% incorrectly believed that evidence of links between Iraq and al Qaeda have been found, 22% that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, and 25% that world public opinion favored the US going to war with Iraq. Overall 60% had at least one of these three misperceptions.
