   The new pope is elected by the cardinals. He appears in front of them all for the first time. Someone asks him how it feels to be in charge of this ancient institution.
   He replies, “Let me be frank…”

   Sorry, but I’m totally poped out. Is it me, or is the world media worse than ever? I’ve seen a few pontiffs come and go and I don’t remember this carpet bombing of papist bollocks.

   I hardly leave remarks, however i did some searching and wound up here The daily irrelevant � Cartoon.
   And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind.
   Could it be just me or does it seem like some of these responses appear like coming from brain dead people?
   And, if you are posting at additional places,
   I’d like to follow everything new you have to post. Could you list of every one of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

   Funny, but at the same time, that’s what should have happened in Greece. At least with the top 20% of depositors.

   Let me guess the translation – Bank Robbery in Cyprus…

3. random translator on March 18th, 2013 at 3:44:

   Bank Robbery in Cypriot (as in the language of the Cyprus people)

   compare to

   Bankraub auf Englisch -> Bank robbery in English

4. Desiato on March 18th, 2013 at 9:15:

   I would translate it as “the Cypriotic way”.

   “A SQL query goes into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks, ‘Can I join you?’”
   Continued: “One of the tables replies: ‘I would like to, but I am only here for the view’”

   And a classic:

   “There are 10 types of people. Those who don’t know how to count in binary, those who do, and those who know indexing starts at 0″

   Q: How do you tell an introverted computer scientist from an extroverted computer scientist?

   A: An extroverted computer scientist looks at your shoes when he talks to you.

   Or, to follow up on Sue:

   A man flying in a hot air balloon suddenly realizes he’s lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts to get directions, “Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?”

   The man below says: “Yes. You’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field.”

   “You must work in Information Technology,” says the balloonist.

   “I do” replies the man. “How did you know?”

   “Well,” says the balloonist, “everything you have told me is technically correct, but It’s of no use to anyone.”

   The man below replies, “You must work in management.”

   “I do,” replies the balloonist, “But how’d you know?”*

   “Well”, says the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault.”

   A physicist, an engineer and a programmer were in a car driving over a steep alpine pass when the brakes failed. The car was getting faster and faster, they were struggling to get round the corners and once or twice only the feeble crash barrier saved them from crashing down the side of the mountain. They were sure they were all going to die, when suddenly they spotted an escape lane. They pulled into the escape lane, and came safely to a halt.

   The physicist said “We need to model the friction in the brake pads and the resultant temperature rise, see if we can work out why they failed”.

   The engineer said “I think I’ve got a few spanners in the back. I’ll take a look and see if I can work out what’s wrong”.

   The programmer said “Why don’t we get going again and see if it’s reproducible?”

   I called the janitor the other day to see what he could do about my dingy linoleum floor. He said he would have been happy to loan me a polisher, but that he hadn’t the slightest idea what he had done with it. I told him not to worry about it – that as a programmer it wasn’t the first time I had experienced a buffer allocation failure due to a memory error.

    @John: Are you done now?

   Am I being weird or are the many brief clips of Mr. Obama saying, “Clean energy” over and over designed to trigger some kind of cognitive meltdown in the target audience of dead, white males? (The reason that only ugly men and pretty women with lots of makeup and cleavage are depicted is too obvious to mention).

   She’s pretty good at tongue-lashing misogynistic right-wingers, but I can see the finer points of such wit may not be appreciated in a joke where all the “good” people are sports “heroes”.
