Book, a revolução tecnológica

Créditos à Go por ter encontrado esta maravilha da tecnologia.

Charlatanice

Exploração da boa fé do público, incultando os própios méritos e erudição para enganar. Fazer-se passar por aquilo que não é. Mostrar qualidades que não tem.

Este senhor - James Randi - dá uma interessante e divertida palestra numa das sessões do TED. São cerca de 17 minutos interessantes. Até apetece dedicar àquele programa da TVI :).
(atenção às legendas. Já estão em Português ;) )

De volta com boa disposição

One day an old woman walked into a shop and got some dog food, she went to pay for it.
The cashier said you can't buy that dog food we need evidence that you have a dog, so she bought in her dog and she got the dog food.

The next day the same old lady went to get some cat food and the cashier said you can't have that cat food we need evidence that you have a cat, so she went home and got her cat and she got the cat food.

Next day the same old lady went in again and she had a box, she told the cashier to put her finger in it, so she did. She said it felt warm and soft, the little old lady then said

"now you're satisfied can I have some toilet paper please!"
