Applied science

Today, my classmates were amazed when I told them turning on the heater with the window grille opened resulted in a higher input of fresh air, which is pretty useless "as-is", because it is warmed up immediately by the warmer temperature that the heater emitted.

Science. Weird stuff.

Bad translation #1


Original text:
"Here come the test results: "You are a horrible person". That's what it says. A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that."

...35 translations later, Bing gives us:
"Check out the results: fear. If you know the user. It's scary. We really are."

Programming language idea

It's called "English".
But seriously now: I haven't figured out a name yet.
It looks something like this, though:


Defenition of table:

Each table has 4 legs and
1 surface and
some contained objects

Each table can add object and
remove object

On create with 4 legs and 1 surface
this table's 4 legs become 4 legs and
this table's 1 surface becomes 1 surface

On create
4 legs become 4 new legs and
1 surface becomes 1 new surface

In case table adds object
object is added to contained objects

In case table removes object
if object is a contained object then
remove that contained object.
