The French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a
man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.

I am tempted to take this logic and apply it inductively to prove that all ages of men are in the same equivalence class. But then, I’d hate to be taken for a math geek.

Sorry I haven’t posted much lately; I’ve been sick and really busy, and with the lab closing at 6:30pm I don’t have much time after class to get things going on. I did copy up a bunch of photos today though, so if I can get my butt out of bed early tomorrow, I’ll get a link up.

In the meantime, here’s a quick quote of the day from FDR, talking about his economic advisors. Gotta love it!

When asked about the economic advisors to the campaign, he pointed to his suit coat and said, before replying, “Do you see these buttons on my sleeve? They don’t do a damn thing, but fashion says I’ve got to have them, so I do.”

– Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Hey all-

While I have beaucoup words that I’ve looked up in the dictionary that are interesting, this one was too cool to pass up sharing with the blahgosphere. I didn’t look it up per sé, but just noticed it while flipping through, and it just jumped out as being a bit ridiculous for a French-English translation:

brouhaha: hubbub

Good thing I have a dictionary to tell me that “brouhaha” in French means “hubbub” in English. Jeez.

Oh great. Here I am, just minding my own business, walking across campus and enjoying the Spring weather, when I see this sign that is clearly instructing me to disable access for people to the parking lot. sigh I’m not going to be very popular if I follow these instructions, but hey, if I can dig up a Black Knight costume and a broadsword, I could probably have some fun perfecting my “NONE SHALL PASS!” voice.

Hmmm.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in hand, totally worn out and screaming “WOO-HOO what a ride!”
