Healthy dose of creativity

Just saw a mention of this website on a gadgets blog: Running from camera.

As mentioned on the site, the idea is very simple:

Put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button and try to get as far from the camera as possible.

Check out some of the interesting shots!

Another paradox

In every walks of life, from time to time, we’d come across those people who are all too eager to criticise at the first opportunity. Unfortunately, it is often the case that the very people who are prone to criticising others are also clueless about how to improve whatever they are trashing… After all, if there is anything constructive to say, these people would be kept busy doing things instead of shooting off their mouths!? Why criticise then, you may ask? Well, this is probably just an indication of some deep-lying insecurities in the first place!?

Animal odd couple

As the presenter commented in the following video, individual differences in size, shape, etc., have not posed any barriers to the friendship in this odd couple. What is our excuse?

Colourful language

Just read about this phrase on a blog

‘Allez chercher des poissons dans les arbres!’

It is supposed to be a derisive remark but seems very colourful. Apparently the literal translation is something like ‘Go look for fish in the trees’, so I hope you get the drift!?

Well, if I only I knew how to pronounce it properly then I may get a chance to try it(!) the next time I visit France and am in need of some expressive (but decent, hopefully) French.
