Старая байка, но может кто не знает.

На экзамене надо было перевести английскую поговорку “Like cures like” («подобное подобным» или «клин клином вышибают»). Долго мучился один студент, но перевод все-таки выдал:
Любить, лечиться и опять любить!

[madcarrot]

gera, you're making me laugh!

here's a joke for you:

A man meets a gorgeous woman in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together.

They get back to her place, and as she shows him around her apartment, he notices that her bedroom is completely packed with teddy bears.

Hundreds of small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, medium sized ones on a shelf a little higher and huge bears on the top shelf along the wall.

The man is kind of surprised that this woman would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but he decides not to mention this to her.

After a night of passion, as they are lying together in the afterglow, the man rolls over and asks, smiling, "Well, how was it?"

She replied, "You may select any prize from the bottom shelf."

GAY BAR BLUES

A guy came into a bar one day and said to the barman "Give me six double vodkas."

The barman says "Wow! you must have had one hell of a day."

"Yes, I've just found out my older brother is gay."

The next day the same guy came into the bar and placed the same order for drinks.

When the bartender asked what the problem was today the answer came back, "I've just found out that my younger brother is gay too!"

On the third day the guy came into the bar and ordered another six double vodkas.

The bartender said "Darn! Doesn't anybody in your family like women?"

"Yeah, my wife..."

A man walks into a bar and sits down and orders a drink. He then notices a jar that is full of money. The man asks the bartender what the jar is for.

The bartender then says that he has a donkey in the back room and "if anyone can make him him laugh they win the money. If not they owe me 100 dollars."

The man says, "I can do it!" So he goes into the back room and about 5 minutes later the bartender hears the donkey laughing out loud. The man walks out and takes the money from the jar, thanks the bartender, and leaves.

About a month later the man comes back into the bar and there is a new jar of money. The man asks the bartender what the new jar of money is for.

The bartender looks at the man and says, "if you can make the donkey cry the money is yours, if not you owe me 100 dollars." The man says, "ok I'll do it!"

He walks into the back room and about 2 minutes goes by when the bartender hears the donkey crying. The man walks out and grabs the money out of the jar, but before the man leaves the bartender asks, "How did you make the donkey laugh?"

The man looks at the bartender and says, "Well the first time I told the donkey that I had a bigger pecker then he did".

"How did you make him cry?" asks the bartender?
"Well I showed him."

моя любимая история, аналог нашего казнить нельзя помиловать

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

“Why?” asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

“Well, I'm a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.”

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

KISS ME, DOCTOR

Doctor, doctor, please kiss me," says the patient.
"No, I'm sorry, that would be against the code of ethics," says the doctor.

Ten minutes later the patient says: "Doctor, please, kiss me just once."
"No, I'm sorry, I just can't" he says.

Five minutes later, she asks again: "Please, please kiss me!"
"Look," says the doctor, "it's out of the question. In fact, I probably shouldn't even be f***ing you.

Black Holes Renamed ‘Super High Gravity Locations’
June 25th, 2007 — Jeff de Ruyter

This is going a little far, I mean, seriously…

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - The International Space Nomenclature Council today adopted the term ‘emplacements de hauts gravité super’ - or ’super high gravity locations’ - as the official replacement name for black holes. Originally named in reference to the fact that light cannot escape their intense gravity, the term ‘black hole’ was increasingly criticized as being insensitive to African-Americans and African-Europeans.

“We’re glad the council finally took action on this issue.” said Isaiah Herman, Chairman of the National African-American Coalition of People. “The unimaginable destructive power of these super high gravity locations was giving the word ‘black’ a negative connotation throughout the universe.”

Super high gravity locations are the remnants of giant stars that collapse into a substance so dense that it has a gravitational pull that consumes all matter that comes near it. “They’re the bad boys of the cosmos.” says Nokidi Imsure, Professor of Astronomic Anthropology at Howyflyl University. “You would definitely want to cross the street if you saw one coming.”

I don’t get what that is all about, it’s a term used for years, and it wasn’t made up to be used in a negative manner, I really don’t see the harm.. I’m white, and if it was called a White hole, I would have no problem with that. I don’t see any negative issues there. it’s a color many things are black, many things are white. considering that light can not escape the name “black hole” is kind of fitting. just my opinon.

2. Dr. Sergey Zubkov Says:

Black is more correct, physically. It’s short for “escape velocity higher than the speed of light”, whereas “Super high gravity” means nothing in particular.

It’s a little bit too far. Black hole is black hole. Europeans and americans are kind of addicted to political correctness.

People / organizations applying a moral criteria to space objects and calling them “bad” or “giving negative connotations”, — are a fine examples of Super High Stupidity Locations.

Some day the National African-American Coalition of People will protest against publishing the very word “black” in papers and books, including dictionaries.

Только что читала статью про молескин в итальянской википедии.
Пишут там, что формат у молескина tascabile [таскабиле]. (слова этого не знала до сегодняшнего дня).
Я подумала, что это слово наверняка тоже друг переводчика.
"Таскабельный (т.е.можно удобно и легко таскать) формат" - вполне перевод.

Оказалось таки да:

tascabile
1. 1) карманный
dizionario tascabile — карманный словарь
2) карманный, миниатюрный
2. карманное/дешёвое издание; брошюра
Syn: da tasca ; pocket-book
