Is there a bigger version of the picture available ? I know it, but I can hardly read those subtitles ...

It's an interesting question. Here is a Stephen Fry sketch I love about how academics like to make hay about the influence of language on thought (and humour).

There is an really good and well-written book on the influence of language on thinking : "Through the language glass", by Guy Deutscher.
What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?

Nice.
pibbur who for once did not forget to look for the background gorilla which often can be found in films like this, if you're looking for it, which most people don't do. No gorilla this time,

I liked this piece from the Jimmy Fallon show with guest John Cleese:
pibbur who likes winglets, and doesn't watch those shows (maybe because he thinks he doesn't have access to them)

My eyes were reading "Destiny Chronicles",
but somehow my mind read "Testicle Chronicles" instead. XD
Later, trying to reconstruct how this might have happened in my mind, my mind came up with "Testicles Of Destiny".
Would fit very well into South Park.
And no, I'm not drunk or anything - just a bit too silly. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep - my neck and my spine were aching from uncomfortable lying.

This EA backlash is ridiculous; they've always been honest in their advertising. Their logo is PROOF of that

A scene from Yes, Prime Minister: (one the best UK TV shows ever!)
Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers.
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country;
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
