Cellphone recommendations

Apart from Bloggerei.de jumping on the Nokia bashing bandwagon, too (which does not mean that I’d agree to their business policy 100%), such an apostrophe on the start page does not look that good: :)

Bloggerei recommends handy's

Translation: Bloggerei recommends cellphone’s from:…

I recommend checking how to make correct plural forms: an apostrophe is always wrong.

Intoductory remarks

First, a little poem of mine:

so you say that – achad! –
real powers he got?
 
these “powers” are – shtaim! –
not worth a mere dime
 
is it mystic? – shalosh! –
no way, golly gosh!
 


achad, shtaim, shalosh: Hebrew for 1, 2, 3

And a perfectly matching current cartoon by xkcd:

The show from 22 Jan 2008

bent As always, in general: <strong/>These are all tricks, no supernatural powers! And we’ll see how good and entertaining today’s tricks are… today, the four “survivors” of the 1st show performed again.</p>
<p>In the beginning, Geller is satisfied with the redecorations in the living rooms last show. <del>The two highlights of the phone central</del> Verena Wriedt shows “the 5 greatest videos” ProSieben had received – nothing really noteworthy. The boy who was also seen last time was even invited to the studio. “Cool”, for he got on TV with this video that looks like acting…</p>
<p>Geller’s important message to the youth: “Think positive, be strong. Believe in yourself… school, education… no drugs… sports… think about success. That’s more important than this show.” Yikes, Geller saying somethin sensible?? <img src="https://cimddwc.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
<p><strong>Celebrity guests:</strong> Katarina Witt, “Galileo” presenter Aiman Abdallah and actress Christina Plate. And three <em>police officers</em> are stooping this time to be would-be trustability suppliers (cf. <a href="http://www.lawblog.de/index.php/archives/2008/01/02/eier-loffel-urnenplatze/">Lawblog (2nd paragraph; German)</a> – they’re supposed to just enjoy the show and sometimes pretend to supervise the show).<br />

<p>The old Ilmgau department store in Pfaffenhofen/Ilm – opened 1977, closed 2005 with 7-digit debts. To the left an old cinema, at last the beverage department of the store. Since recently, after several failed attempts to sale/auction it, it has new owners – cinema <del>and a small stockroom (not on the photo)</del> will be knocked down, the rest will house offices, and probably a shop on the ground floor.</p>
<p>I’ve only seen the last two years, and then it was mainly a supermarket with remains from general wares. Old furniture and installations, broken heating in the last winter, range of products growing sparser and sparser, probably the region’s highest share of food beyond its eat-by date – and ever fewer customers. Which turns into a vicious circle, of course…</p>
<p>…so, a contemporary witness of former store ages that couldn’t keep up with the times…</p>

					<div class="entry">
						<p> 	Yesterday I received three spam mails that raise two kinds of questions. First, they consisted of only four (or five) words each, which seem to be riddles with this (my) question:</p>
<p><strong>Which word doesn’t fit?</strong></p>
<p>1) <strong>Sword Nail Knife Baby</strong></p>
<p>2) <strong>Bank Bowl Electricity Bed</strong></p>
<p>3) <strong>Highway Sphere Grapes Leather jacket</strong></p>
<p><a href="javascript:void(null);" onclick="s_toggleDisplay(document.getElementById(Show (my) solutions ▼

Second, you wonder what they want to accomplish with such short mails with the short subjects Knife, Tunnel and Map and also like the strangely mixed up ones from recently containing the same in MS Word HTML) without sensible contents – a test for their spam software’s random generator??
