DA PALAVRA

As vezes, palavras duras, definitivas, a luta dos indivíduos (a morte ou a vida), e chacotas pelos fracassos de cada um, e arremessos de mau, génio, e vampirismo, pois então. Somos puros. E que falta nos fazem lençóis, fronhas, almofadas ? Os cobertores, quando os há, estão enegrecidos e com manchas, cheiram ao chichi das criancinhas, quando não a coisas que eu não digo. Mas abrindo a janela, que contraste de perfumes com o ar lavado que vem dos montes da Serra de São Luís! com a florescência das árvores na Avenida! E deixem-me que lhes diga: se é precisa a maior vigilância com as maganas das lêndeas e as brincalhonas pulguitas (especialmente daquelas pequeninas, estilo terroristas, são mesmo uns amores!), a graça que tem a Irene na caça à bicharada, desporto conceituado nas brenhas beirãs onde a fui escolher, e como se alegra dizendo «era uma verdadeira toira !» ou «esta tinha o rabo branco, eram duas às cavalitas», o que só demonstra que na classe agrária, enquanto não chega o dia do tractor e da reforma, a educação feminina quedou nessas prendas doméstico-venatórias do olho atento, dedos que nem setas, unhas como guilhotinas.

Kenn Brown, artista gráfico da Mondolithic Studios, desenvolveu um trabalho impressionante inspirado no livro de Weisman, ilustrando este terrível e fascinante mundo pós-apocaliptico. Mais recentemente o semanário Expresso contactou a firma americana para conceber uma visão de Lisboa, como esta seria ao fim de 300 anos de abandono. E ainda que a música do Blade Runner possa parecer um pouco fora de tom, a imagem não é menos que espectacular.

TECNOLOGIA

...

No, I'm not going to get an iPhone, quit emailing me about it. I'm not getting one because I already have a phone that's better: it's called the Nokia E70, it's the pinnacle of human achievement, and I love it more than my family;

You've probably never heard of the E70 because Nokia's marketing team is busy finding every last dick in the universe to suck, so I'm going to do their job for them and tell you about this product.

First of all, the E70 has a full keyboard, not some shitty stripped down, tap-and-pray smudgy piece of shit. Nokia uses a technology that's even more advanced than the iPhone's tap screen, allowing you to actually feel the keys you press as you're pressing them! The technology is called "tactile response," and it allows you to do things like dial a phone number without staring at your screen like a shit-chucking ape. In fact, every other cellphone ever made has this technology, sometimes called "buttons."

THE OFFICIAL GOD FAQ

...

Question: “Is there a God?”

Answer: “No.”

...

ARE YOU A FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN?

...

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.
