'Not technology great?'  Good rule of thumb, when using Google translate, take the output, put it back into translate and make sure it comes out pretty close to your input. If it doesn't adjust your grammar and syntax in the original input to make it closer to the language you're translating to and try again. Using this method you can get much better quality translations. Ya, I did but I thought it would be kind of humorous...I guess the word 'is' got removed from isn't, but I thought it was mostly intelligible...perhaps not :p It was intelligible...and humorous if done intentionally. |

Biologists aspire to be Chemists.
Chemists aspire to be Physicists.
Physicists aspire to be God.
And God aspires to be a Mathematician.

Probably one of the coolest animals I've seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLdQ3UhLoD4Searching online for this something called "Kong Kang" and it turned out Malaysian for Slow Lorris. I wonder if "King Kong" was Malaysian for gigantic gorilla? Anyway, turned out my search was wrong. Anyone know this card game called "Kon Kan" or "Con Kan" or whatever variant it can be? |

You don't have enough screen space to see how to the right Philosophers are. Reminds me of an old joke, A physics professor comes to his dean and says: 'We need another million dollars to upgrade our particle accelerator.' Dean moans: 'Why can't you guys be like folks from math department? They only need are pens, paper, and wastebaskets.' The professor replies: 'Did you mean folks from philosophy department? They only need pens and paper.' |

Nothing is more Greek than questioning the purity of another's Greek ancestry (even your question suggests as much), especially when it comes to miscegenation of the Turkish (formerly Persian) variety. I think it has been going on literally since the beginning of history. |

Tsar Nicholas II must be the only Orthodox Saint which can be found from Disney comics.  In, "The Empire-Builder from Calisota" now rich Scrooge McDuck comes in Saint-Petersbourg, where he buys his famous hat and cane, and visits the Czar to buy him some Faberge's eggs. In his palace is a poster with written on it "Sales before Revolution. Everything has to disapperar". In this story, Don Rosa makes reference to Barks' story above, because the Tsar tells Scrooge that he's smelly, and Scrooge answers it's because he just passed by the stables to sell concertinas to his troops. |

I still enjoy Uncle Scrooge comic books, especially the Barks and Rosa classics which contain enough adult references to keep them interesting. In America, they only have a circulation of about 5000 (out of 300 million people!) but I hear in Finland they are still quite popular.

Indeed they are. According to Aku Ankka's website in 2008 it had circulation of 324 500 and 1,3 million weekly readers out of about 5 million people. I once heard a story about some Finnish couple that ordered Aku Ankka magazine righ after their First-Born's birth. I wonder whether it was the newborn or dad who read it more. |

I don't know... I've never had that problem. I'd say to let it grow longer, then strategically trim the areas that are sticking out. May I also suggest a healthy dose of the spell check function |
