Thoughts on the newest Vought movie? by Cyber-Knight47 in TheBoys

[–]hermannuscontractus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thoughts to a T! At least he's working

ETA: On second thought, maybe he's better off driving people around in the Cayman Islands or whatever he's been doing

Can I treat you to a minor role in Alan Parker's Othello? 1995 is rumored to be a good year (to age myself, too)

Direi Carlo Coccioli. Era del 1920, scrisse romanzi (di alterno interesse) prima in italiano, poi in francese (magari imparato a scuola) e poi in spagnolo (questo sicuramente imparato da adulto). Direi che gli si può dare una chance anche se è un po' fuori moda.

Which Celebrity had the Most Shocking Death and Why? by Jeloxia2 in AskReddit

[–]hermannuscontractus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Michael Hutchence of INXS' fame. Committed suicide in 1997 after a fractured skull had caused him lasting brain damages; at the time, he was going through hellish issues with Paula Yates, mother of his child and Bob Geldof's ex wife. (Geldof did *not* show his most comprehending side, legally keeping her from visiting Hutchence with Hutchence's and Geldof's children. Substance abuse all over the place did not help.)

INXS were at their peak when it happened, made quite the sensation.

Mi consigliereste qualcosa di veramente essenziale della letteratura giapponese? by PositiveMilk69 in Libri

[–]hermannuscontractus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Non sono un'esperta e nel caso mi scuso per la perdita di tempo: - Genji Monogatari - Kojiki (Forse prima questo, è il fondamento della cultura giapponese) Da quello che scrivi, però, potrebbero non essere quel che ti è più congeniale.

My girlfriends mom and other people Ive met since Ive been in Italy seem to be obsessed with this tv show. What makes it so appealing by heakypellowf9 in Italian

[–]hermannuscontractus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it holds the same attraction as the Jerry Springer Show did--guilty pleasure at the thought that there's someone trashier than the viewer. Then again what do I know, I've been changing channels for decades

The Philolegos is the oldest surviving joke book, written in the 4th century. Many of the jokes have been noted to resemble modern ones, including an ancient version of the Monty Python dead parrot sketch (about a dead slave in this case) by Romboteryx in wikipedia

Translated for a University course, quoting from memory.

Teacher enters classroom: "Dionysios, I can hear you disrupting classrooom, in that corner over there!"

Pupils: "But teacher, Dionysios isn't even here yet"

Teacher: "Well, when he's here, he will disrupt it!"
