Bonjour Tristesse

Bonjour Tristesse (in English, Hello Sadness) is a novel by Françoise Sagan. Published in 1954, when the author was only 18, it was an overnight sensation. The title is derived from a poem by Paul Éluard, "À peine défigurée," which begins with the lines "Adieu tristesse/ Bonjour tristesse..." The 1958 film Bonjour Tristesse featured Geoffrey Horne, Deborah Kerr, Jean Seberg and David Niven as the lead actors. The music was composed by Georges Auric. Plot summary Seventeen-year-old Cécile spends her summer in a villa on the French Riviera with her father and his mistress. Her father, Ray...

> In February 1943, in the midst of the Second World War, Prime Minister Winston Churchill demanded that a live duck-billed platypus be sent from Australia to Britain. A vigorous male was shipped off but died shortly before arrival in Britain. This request can only be understood if placed in thecontext of Churchill’s passion for

> exotic pets as well as the rich history of aristocratic menageries and live diplomaticgifts. Obtaining an animal hitherto unseen alive in Europe would have been a great zoological achieve-ment for London Zoo and secured British authority in heated historical taxonomical debates. This zoological triumph, coupled with accomplishing an extravagant enterprise in the middle of war-time austeritywould have boosted public morale.

> Most importantly, despite its death, the platypus, served as a tokenfor mediating the soured relations between Australia and Britain. Churchill’s platypus provides a uniquecase of animal collecting that incorporates effects on international diplomacy and public relations along with a great private eccentricity and passion.

Zoological triumph in war-time austerity.

Grasshopper (cocktail)

A grasshopper is a sweet, mint-flavored, after-dinner drink. The name of the drink is derived from its green color, which is provided by the crème de menthe. The drink reputedly originated at Tujague's, a landmark bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, and gained popularity during the 1950s and 1960s throughout the American South. == Composition == A typical grasshopper cocktail consists of equal parts green Crème de menthe, white Crème de cacao and fresh cream, shaken with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. === Variations === A "Vodka" or "Flying" Grasshopper...

Booby

A booby is a seabird in the genus Sula, part of the Sulidae family. Boobies are closely related to the gannets (Morus), which were formerly included in Sula. == Description == Boobies hunt fish by diving from a height into the sea and pursuing their prey underwater. Facial air sacs under their skin cushion the impact with the water. Boobies are colonial breeders on islands and coasts. They normally lay one or more chalky-blue eggs on the ground or sometimes in a tree nest. === Name === Their name was possibly based on the Spanish slang term bobo, meaning "stupid", as these tame birds had a habit...

Will Hunting

Tits and boobies are both birds, fascinating.

terdon

@RegDwigнt Interesting usage of disclosed there. I wonder if it means shown or not hidden. I don't see how the wings could have been hidden in the first place.

My highest-voted comment on this site so far is about boobies vs. tits.

Robusto

2:32 PM

Probably true of all vote-getting comments in general.

terdon

@RegDwigнt Heh, presumably you were referring to the birds in both cases right?

Robusto

A comment about tits garners more attention, and since comments can't be downvoted there's only one way for it to go.

terdon

Though one can make an argument for bobbies being tits.

In BrE anyway.

@terdon I think it's spelled gits in BrE.

Matt Эллен

how is it a max if it is unbound?

terdon

@Robusto Well, a tit and a git are very similar, both are essentially idiot_/_asshole. So I didn't get the joke.

Robusto

Clearly maximum is pleonastic and misleading there.

@terdon Never mind.

Andrew Leach

Presumably it's possible for a plane to have a maximum mass which is under 2250kg.

Will Hunting

The difference between try and triumph is an umph.

Andrew Leach

Probably because it can't fly if it's that heavy.

I suppose the difference is in loaded vs. empty weight. In that sense maximum probably does make sense.

Yes, that's what Putin's been cueing all along.

Will Hunting

@RegDwigнt When are you going to have a child?

RegDwigнt

@MattЭллен er, it is bound for each particular plane. That's really no different from saying "when your weight is over 100 kg".

I only posted that because it stood out to me for a different reason. You don't really expect that kind of threshold when reading about a jumbo jet.

>The first thing to know about your penis is, that despite the way it may see, it is not your penis. Ultimately, God created you and it is his penis. You are simply borrowing it for a while.

While His penis is on loan you must admit that it is sort of just hanging out there very lonely as if it needed a home, sort of like a man wondering the streets looking for a house to live in. Knowing that His penis would need a home, God created a woman to be your wife and when you marry her and look down you will notice that your wife is shaped differently than you and makes a very nice home.

Matt Эллен

@RegDwigнt the way it is written seems obfuscatory. "When a plane weighs over X" is parsed differently by most people to "When a plane has a max weight over X", with the exception that "max weight" means what Andrew says it means.

Judges are most guilty, because they are in charge of the laws

Matt Эллен

maybe jury service includes the selection process

No I said jury duty is boring. The first part of jury duty is waiting to be selected.

But it could be the last part. Making it immensely less boring.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇
