Another quirky from Ananova:

“(…) Mr. Slater (the flight attendant) grabbed the intercom and said: “To the passenger who called be a mother ****er, **** you. I’ve been in the business 28 years. I’ve had it. That’s it.”

He then activated the emergency exit, grabbed two beers from the galley, and then slid down the inflatable slide on to the tarmac, reports the Wall Street Journal.”

Thank you Astrid !!!

Endlich, das ist die Chance meines Lebens. Darauf habe ich gewartet. Wer braucht schon eine Beziehung oder sowas?

Lieber Freund!!!
Ich vermute das diese E-Mail eine Überraschung für Sie sein wird, aber es ist wahr.Ich bin bei einer routinen Überprüfung in meiner Bank (Standard Bank von Süd Afrika) wo ich arbeite, auf einem Konto gestoßen, was nicht in anspruch genommen worden ist, wo derzeit $12,500,000 (zwölfmillionenfünfhundert US Dollar) gutgeschrieben sind.
Dieses Konto gehörte Herrn Manfred Becker, der ein Kunde in unsere Bank war, der leider verstorben ist. Herr Becker war ein gebürtiger Deutscher.Damit es mir möglich ist dieses Geld $12,500,000 inanspruch zunehmen, benötige ich die zusammenarbeit eines Ausländischen Partners wie Sie,den ich als Verwandter und Erbe des verstorbenen Herrn Becker vorstellen kann,damit wir das Geld inanspruch nehmen können.
Für diese Unterstützung erhalten Sie 30% der Erbschaftsumme und die restlichen 70% teile ich mir mit meinen zwei Arbeitskollegen, die mich bei dieser Transaktion ebenfalls unterstützen.Wenn Sie interessiert sind, können Sie mir bitte eine E-Mail schicken, damit ich Ihnen mehr Details zukommen lassen kann.Schicken Sie bitte Ihre Antwort auf diese E-Mail Adresse: (von der Redaktion gelöscht)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Herr MARTINS WEBER DITO

Eins muss man dieser Person lassen – sie ist durch meinen SPAM Filter gekommen und spricht gutes Deutsch für einen Südafrikaner. Vielleicht ist da doch was dran?

As I’m typing this, it’s raining here in Munich, the sun is hidden by grey clouds. Yet, apart from my two monitors and some lit up displays of phones, etc. I’ve got no further artificial light sources. The sun is shining and it’s energy, the photons, travel millions of miles to finally hit upon our retinas.

Isn’t this wonderful? The sun is shining! Think about it. You are probably taking it for granted. You’ve becomed accustomed to it, you never give it a second thought, do you?

A real miracle is the sun’s constant burning-rate of it’s fuel, hydrogen . Why does it not use up the energy in one big blast? Because there are several forces at work! One being the gravitation, which keeps compressing the sun’s matter until it “ignites” and starts a fusion reaction. This fusion reaction generates energy and heat, which counteract to the gravity – they tend to expand the sun’s matter. Thus, a dynamic balance is preserved until all of the sun’s hydrogen has been burned up. This will be the case in about 4 billion years.

What can we learn for the daily lifes of this, I wonder?

Eigentlich haben die Nachbarn die Lippen für meinen Geschmack noch zu geschminkt gelassen …

Oder umgerechnet 72 Jahre. Ich denke bis dahin kann ich den Rechner nicht laufen lassen …
