Who needs communication
Me: (Walking quickly because I'm running late)
Jehovah's Witness: (With no tones at all) Ni shi Zhongguo ren ma?
Me: No.
JW: Can you read Chinese?
Me: A littl -- I really have to go.
JW: I know, I know, but just take these. (Hands me two Watchtowers in Simplified Chinese, which I can't read anyway)
Me: Ok...
JW: Xie xie ni.
Me: O_o

Reading Comprehension: It's not just for school
I know Yahoo Answers should never be taken too seriously, but it pisses me off so so so so so so so so much when people give unhelpful answers because they couldn’t be bothered to actually read the question (or to learn how to read and comprehend text, I suppose).
This, for instance. The OP asks how to get rid of the “piggy taste”/”porky smell” of pork. This does not...

I never understood the I love boobs or save the TaTa’s campaign. I like boobs like any other red blooded american man, but I love the woman more. Take the boobs away and it is still someone I love. Save the woman, save my wife, save my mom, save my grandma.

Hockey Names 101 from @SlavaMalamud
CHOOK. Only CHOOK and nothing else. Also, a very soft L @canada_gill I have a question too, is it koval-chook or Koval-chuck
It’s bryz (short i) - GAH - loaf RT @HockeyBorad is Bryzgalov /briz-ga-lov/ or is it /breeze-ga-lov/?
Fun Russian fact. Kovalchuk, Kovalev, Kovalenko (remember him?) and Kuznetsov - all the same last name. Means Smith.
@CapsNatsDCU Koval = Smith in Ukrainian....

65 minutes and a stupid gimmick,
tarnishing my name after a 48 save game
5 on 5 I’ll keep you alive,
4 on 4 you will not score
then you, shoot out,
I will not lie,
why couldn’t we have just ended it in a tie?
I wept.

Landsberg on depression and Wade Belak →
“Depression is a disease. It’s not an issue or a demon, although it may act like one. And if you want to honor Wade’s memory, do it this way; never ever tell someone to snap out of it. And never ask anyone, what do you have to be depressed about? Start accepting depression as a serious and sometimes fatal illness.”

MOSCOW — In the aftermath of the plane crash that decimated a beloved Russian hockey team last week, fans clung to one filament of hope: a single player, 26-year-old Aleksandr Galimov, had somehow survived, staggering from the wreckage under his own power and telling a pair of astonished police officers, “Brothers, I am Galimov.”

YOU SEE
Today in Hungarian class, I learned that time can be expressed as a proportion of the upcoming complete hour. So 10:15, for instance, is negyed 11, or ‘quarter (of) 11,’ 10:30 is fél 11 ‘half (of) 11,’ and 10:45 is háromnegyed 11, or ‘three-quarters (of) 11.
To me, this makes a lot more sense than the tendency found in a lot of American dialects to say “a...
