Secolul trecut a avut 2 mari mentalitati criminale: nazismul german si comunismul rusesc. Totusi, cele doua au fost vazute si apreciate diferit. Daca nazismul a fost condamnat si a fost necesar un razboi pentru a il indeparta, Stalin, unul din exponentii principali ai comunismului a reusit sa-si cladeasca o imagine de mare lider si salvator, fiind de altfel regretat la moarte. Si astazi el este cunoscut drept omul care a transformat Rusia dintr-o tara agrara intr-o mare putere mondiala. Dar asta s-a realizat cu un cost uman mult mai mare decat cel platit de catre nazisti.
Am pus mai jos doua documentare: primul este un documentar francez, "Nuit et brouillard", realizat in 1955. In 30 de minute rezuma cel mai bine ce au insemnat lagarele de concentrare naziste. Al doilea este putin mai lung, 90 de minute, si prezinta viata lui Stalin. Merita vazute pentru a avea o imagine asupra conceptului de lider autoritar si sistem ce-l deserveste intru totul.

La Orange vechii clienti sunt pedepsiti
Despre Orange si cat de "minunat" este a mai scris mikel aici cam anul trecut pe vremea asta.
Anu trecut a inceput tot cam asa: au aparut oferte care ofera mult mai mult decat ce avem acum la abonamente si mai ieftin. Evident ca orice om cand vezi asta vrei sa beneficiezi. Dar se pare ca nu poti.
Eu am abonament la Orange de 10 ani si ceva. Am un abonament de 3 euro (+TVA) si dupa multa bataie de cap si o optiune de 5.5 euro (+TVA). deci 8.5 euro + TVA. In asta am incluse 125 min nationale si 250 min in retea. Acum cu noile abonamente mai mult de atat as avea la 8 euro cu TVA inclus. Sun la ei ca vreau sa imi schimb. Raspuns evident nu se poate. In sistem nu se poate decat Delfin 12 sau altele mai scumpe (pantera de exemplu). Nu vreau asta. Vreau ceva mai ieftin care sa imi ofere chiar mai mult (cum s-a intamplat la Vodafone doar ca la ei esti sunat sa ti se propuna variante mai bune).
Ma duc in magazin. Evident primesc acelasi raspuns. Ok... nu imi convine... ce pot face. Nu, nu se poate facturile mele se pare ca le spun altceva (?!)
Alta problema a fost cum s-a comportat acea "pitzi" de la magazin. Asta e alta poveste.
Bun auzind astea si ca nu se poate cer sa imi inchid abonamentu si sa deschid altul. Nu se poate.... evident ma enervez. Bun... cer portarea. Acu trebuie sa gasesc o retea care sa ma primeasca....
In aceeasi situatie a fost si tata. Dar el a fost sunat dupa ce a plecat de la magazin de catre un consultant care i-a oferit ce a vrut. Eu nu. INCA. Astept.
Asa ca declar decembrie luna luptei impotriva Orange.
Daca suntem de mai multi ani la ei chiar nu meritam nimic?
Perfect atunci mai exista alternative.

Changing a bulb
How many academic librarians does it take to change a light bulb?
Just five. One changes the light bulb while the other four form a committee and write a letter of protest to the Dean, because after all, changing light bulbs IS NOT professional work!
How many reference librarians does it take to change a light-bulb?
(with a perky smile) "Well, I don't know right off-hand, but I know where we can look it up!"
How many book publishers does it take to change a light bulb?
Three. One to change it and two to hold down the author.
How many editors does it take to change a light bulb?
"Do we have to get author's approval for this?"
Two, one to change the bulb and one to issue a rejection slip to the old bulb.
How many proofreaders does it take to change a light bulb?
Proofreaders aren't supposed to change light bulbs. They should just query them.
How many mystery writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two. One to screw it in almost all the way in and the other to give it a suprising twist at the end.
How many writers does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to change the bulb and one to tell a long story about it.
How many literary critics does it take to change a light bulb?
Literary critics don't know how, but rest assured they'll find something wrong with the way you do it.

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honour of this holy season" Saint Peter said,"You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle", he said.
"You may pass through the pearly gates" Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys.
He shook them and said, "They're bells."
Saint Peter said "You may pass through the pearly gates".
The third man, Jack, started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"
The man replied, "These are Carols."

A woman gives birth to a baby. Afterwards, the doctor comes in, and he says, “I have to tell you something about your baby.”
The woman sits up in bed and says, “What’s wrong with my baby, Doctor? What’s wrong???”
The doctor says, “Well, now, nothing’s wrong, exactly, but your baby is a little bit different. Your baby is a hermaphrodite.”
The woman says, “A hermaphrodite… what’s that???”
The doctor says, “Well, it means your baby has the…er…features… of a male and a female.”
The woman turns pale. She says, “Oh my God! You mean it has a penis…AND a brain ???!!!”

Several years ago, the Catholic Church required women to wear a head covering in order to enter the sanctuary. One Sunday a lady arrived without her head covering.
The priest informs her that she cannot enter without it. A few moments later, the lady re-appears wearing her blouse tied to her head.
The shocked priest says, "Madam, I cannot allow you to enter this holy place without your wearing a blouse."
"But Father, I have a divine right," she informs.
"Yes, I see. And your left one isn't bad either, but you still must wear a blouse to enter this church!" he insists.

A mother and her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from K-City to Chicago. The little boy, who had been looking out the window, turned to his mother and said, "If big dogs have baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why don't big airplanes have baby airplanes?"
The mother couldn't think of an answer. So she told her child to ask the flight attendant. So the boy went down the aisle and posed his question.
The attendant smiled and said, "Did your Mom tell you to ask me?"
"Yes, she did," replied the boy.
"Well, then," said the attendant, "you go and tell your mother that there are no baby airplanes because Southwest always pulls out on time.
"Have your Mom explain that to you."

A man was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island.
After being there awhile, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset.
One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance.
As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it.
But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep.
After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling..
A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was Nancy Pelosi .
That evening, the man brought Nancy to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get 'those feelings' again.
He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave in and leaned over to Nancy and told her he hadn't had sex for months.
Nancy batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him.
He said, 'Would you mind taking the dog for a walk?"

A blonde hurried into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off. 'How did this happen?' the emergency room doctor asked her.
'Well, I was trying to commit suicide,' the blonde replied.
'What?' sputtered the doctor. 'You tried to commit suicide by shooting off your finger?'
'No, Silly' the blonde said. 'First I put the gun to my chest, and then I thought, 'I just paid $6,000.00 for these implants...
I'm not shooting myself in the chest.'
'So then?' asked the doctor.
'Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought, 'I just paid $3,000.00 to get my teeth straightened I'm not shooting myself in the mouth.'
'So then?'
Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought, this is going to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in my other ear before I pulled the trigger.

Chang Man Yong works on a collective farm in North Korea. He goes fishing, gets lucky, and brings a fish home. Happy about his catch, he tells his wife: “Look what I’ve got. Shall we eat fried fish today?”
The wife says: “We’ve got no cooking oil!”
“Shall we stew it, then?”
“We’ve got no pot!”
“Shall we grill it?”
“We’ve got no firewood!”
Chang Man Yong gets angry, goes back to the river, and throws the fish back into the water. The fish, happy to have had such a narrow escape, sticks its head out of the water and cheerfully yells: “Long live General Kim Jong Il!”

A man with a winking problem applies for a position as a traveling salesman and goes in for an interview.
“Looking at your résumé, I can see that you’re more than qualified,” says the interviewer. “Unfortunately, we can’t have our sales reps constantly winking at customers, so we can’t hire you.”
“But wait,” says the man. “If I take two aspirin, I stop winking.”
“Then show me,” replies the interviewer.
So the guy reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a pile of condoms in all different shapes, sizes, and colors before finally finding a packet of aspirin. He pops the pills and immediately stops winking.
“It’s great you stopped winking,” says the interviewer, “but we can’t have our salesmen womanizing all over the country.”
“What do you mean?” asks the man. “I’m happily married.”
“How do you explain all the condoms?” asks the interviewer.
“Oh, that,” sighs the man. “Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?”

Teenagers and cats common things
* Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name.
* No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot.
* You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents.
* Even if you tell jokes as well as Jay Leno, neither your cat nor you teen will ever crack a smile.
* No cat or teenager shares you taste in music.
* Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for hours on end without moving, barely breathing.
* Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did.
* Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same manner, communicating that ultimate human ecstasy — a sense of complete and utter boredom.
* Cats and teenagers do not improve anyone’s furniture.
* Cats that are free to roam outside sometimes have been known to return in the middle of the night to deposit a dead animal in your bedroom. Teenagers are not above that sort of behavior.
Thus, if you must raise teenagers, the best sources of advice are not other parents, but veterinarians. It is also a good idea to keep a guidebook on cats at hand at all times.
And remember, above all else, put out the food and do not make any sudden moves in their direction. When they make up their minds, they will finally come to you for some affection and comfort, and it will be a triumphant moment for all concerned.

10 Reasons God Created Eve
10. God worried that Adam would always be lost in the garden because men hate to ask for directions.
9. God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote.
8. God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when his seat wore out and would therefore need Eve to get one for him.
7. God knew that Adam would never make a doctor's appointment for himself.
6. God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night.5. God knew that if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle childbearing.
4. As "Keeper of the Garden," Adam would never remember where he put his tools.
3. The scripture account of creation indicates Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
2. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone!"
1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched His head and said, "I can do better than that."

The Difference Between You and Your Boss
1 When you take a long time, you're slow.
When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough.
2 When you don't do it, you're lazy.
When your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy.
3 When you make a mistake, you're an idiot.
When your boss makes a mistake, he's only human.
4 When doing something without being told, you're overstepping your authority.
When your boss does the same thing, that's initiative.
5 When you take a stand, you're being pig-headed.
When your boss does it, he's being firm.
6 When you overlooked a rule of ettiquette, you're being rude.
When your boss skips a few rules, he's being original.
7 When you please your boss, you're arse-creeping.
When your boss pleases his boss, he's being co-operative.
8 When you're out of the office, you're wandering around.
When your boss is out of the office, he's on business.
9 When you're on a day off sick, you're always sick.
When your boss has a day off sick, he must be very ill.
10 When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview.
When your boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked.

"If you see 2 people talking and one looks bored, he's the other one"
"A photographic memory but with the cap over the lens"
"A prime candidate for natural deselect ion"
"Donated his brain to science before he was done using it"
"Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming"
"Has 2 brains, one is lost, the other is out looking for it"
"If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week"
"If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change"
"If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean"
"It's hard to believe that he beat out 1,000 other sperm"
"One neuron short of a synapse"
"Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, he only gargled"

What Doctors Say… and what they’re really thinking
“This should be taken care of right away.”
I’d planned a trip to Hawaii next month but this is so easy and profitable that I want to fix it before it cures itself.
“Welllllll, what have we here…?”
He has no idea and is hoping you’ll give him a clue.
“Let me check your medical history.”
I want to see if you paid your last bill before spending anymore time with you.
“Why don’t we make another appointment later in the week.”
I’m playing golf this afternoon, and this a waste of time..or..I need the bucks, so I’m charging you for another office visit.
“I have some good news and some bad news.”
The good news is, I’m going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is, you’re going to pay for it.
“Let’s see how it develops.”
Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that can be cured.
“Let me schedule you for some tests.”
I have 40% interest in the lab.
“I’d like to have my associate look at you.”
He’s going through a messy divorce and owes me a bundle.
“I’d like to prescribe a new drug.”
I’m writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig.
“If it doesn’t clear up in a week, give me a call.”
I don’t know what it is. Maybe it will go away by itself.
“That’s quite a nasty looking wound.”
I think I’m going to throw up.
“This may smart a little.”
Last week two patients bit off their tongues.
“Well, we’re not feeling so well today, are we…?”
I’m stalling for time. Who are you and why are you here?
“This should fix you up.”
The drug company slipped me some big bucks to prescribe this stuff.
“Everything seems to be normal.”
Rats! I guess I can’t buy that new beach condo after all.
“I’d like to run some more tests.”
I can’t figure out what’s wrong maybe the kid in the lab can solve this one.
“Do you suppose all this stress could be affecting your nerves?”
You’re crazier’n an outhouse rat. Now, if I can only find a shrink who’ll split fees with me…”
“There is a lot of that going around.”
My God, that’s the third one this week. I’d better learn something about this.
“If those symptoms persist, call for an appointment.”
I’ve never heard of anything so disgusting. Thank God I’m off next week!

10 Reasons Why it Sucks to be a Vampire
10. When you wake up, your hair is always the same shape as the top of your coffin.

7. The Goth crowd you hang out with doesn't think you're that cool after a couple of weeks......
6. You never get a chance to cash in at all-you-can-eat overnight buffets.
5. Your mortal S.O.'s get upset when all you want to do is neck.
4. You smell musty
3. You tend to embarrass yourself when you try to turn into a bat and you end up transforming into a Louisville Slugger.
2. You keep tripping over your cape.
1. Let's face it, you suck.

This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.
He immediately phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and George said no
and explained the situation.
Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George:
“I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said,
“I thought you said there was nobody available!”

An attractive young lady with raven-black hair and wide eyes approached the gates of Heaven. Looking her over, St. Peter said, “And may I ask, young lady, if you are a virgin?”
“I am,” was her demure reply.
Not wanting to appear distrustful but having to be cautious, St. Peter called over an angel to examine her. Several minutes later the angel returned.
“She’s a virgin,” the angel stated, “though I’m obliged to inform you that she *does* have seven small dents in her maidenhead.”
Thanking him, St. Peter took his place behind the ledger and faced the girl.
“Well, miss, we’re going to admit you. What is your name?”
She replied sweetly, “Snow White.”

With the help of a fertility specialist, a 65 year old woman has a baby. All her relatives come to visit and meet the newest member of their family. When they ask to see the baby, the 65 year old mother says, "Not yet."
A little later they ask to see the baby again. Again the mother says, "Not yet."
Finally they say, "When can we see the baby?"
And the mother says, "When the baby cries."
So they ask, "Why do we have to wait until the baby cries?"
The new mother says, "I forgot where I put it."

A blind man is walking down the street with his seeing-eye dog one day. They come to a busy intersection, and the dog, ignoring the high volume of traffic zooming by on the street, leads the blind man right out into the thick of traffic. This is followed by the screech of tires and horns blaring as panicked drivers try desperately not to run the pair down.
The blind man and the dog finally reach the safety of the sidewalk on the other side of the street, and the blind man pulls a cookie out of his coat pocket, which he offers to
the dog.
A passerby, having observed the near-fatal incident, can’t control his amazement. He says to the blind man,
“Why on earth are you rewarding your dog with a cookie? He nearly got you killed!”
The blind man turns partially in his direction and replies,
“I am trying to find which end is his head so I can kick his butt.”

80,000 blondes meet in the Kansas City Chiefs Stadium for a “Blondes Are Not Stupid” Convention. The leader says, “We are all here today to prove to the world that blondes are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?” A blonde gingerly works her way through the crowd and steps up to the stage. The leader asks her, “What is 15 plus 15?” After 15 or 20 seconds she says, “Eighteen!”
Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then 80,000 blondes start cheering, “Give her another chance! Give her another chance!” The leader says, “Well since we’ve gone to the trouble of getting 80,000 of you in one place and we have the world-wide press and global broadcast media here, gee, uh, I guess we can give her another chance.” So he asks, “What is 5 plus 5?”
After nearly 30 seconds she eventually says, “Ninety?”
The leader is quite perplexed, looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh — everyone is disheartened, the blonde starts crying and the 80,000 girls begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, “GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE!”
The leader, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than damage, eventually says, “Ok! Ok! Just one more chance — What is 2 plus 2?”
The girl closes her eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, “Four?”
Throughout the stadium pandemonium breaks out as all 80,000 girls jump to their feet, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream…
“GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE!”

Dorothy was very upset because her husband Albert had just passed away.
She goes to the mortuary to look at her dearly departed, and the instant she sees him she starts wailing and crying.
One of the attendants rushes up to comfort her. Through her tears she explains that she was upset because Albert was wearing a black suit and that it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue suit.
The attendant apologizes and explains that they always put the bodies in a black suit as a matter of course, but he’d see what he could do.
The next day, Dorothy returns to the mortuary to have one last moment with Albert before his funeral the following day. When the attendant pulls back the curtain, Dorothy manages to smile through her tears as Albert is now wearing a smart blue suit.
She asks the attendant, “How did you manage to get hold of that beautiful blue suit?”
“Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man who was about your husband’s size was brought in, and he was wearing a blue suit. His wife explained that she was very upset, as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit,” the attendant replied.
The woman smiled.
He continued: “After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads around”.

The leader is quite perplexed, looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh — everyone is disheartened, the blonde starts crying and the 80,000 girls begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, “GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE!”
The leader, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than damage, eventually says, “Ok! Ok! Just one more chance — What is 2 plus 2?”
The girl closes her eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, “Four?”
Throughout the stadium pandemonium breaks out as all 80,000 girls jump to their feet, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream…
“GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE!”
A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit and it was her turn. She rolled the dice and landed on "science & nature." Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"
She thought for a time and then asked, "Is the vaccum on or off?"
A blonde was showing her friend her two new puppies.
The girl askes, "What are their names?"
The blonde responded, This one is Rolex, and this one is Timex.
Confused, her friend said, "What kind of names are those?"
"Uh, der. They are watch dogs." answered the blonde.
A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic that it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly.
She says, "What's the story?"
He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor."
She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"
Q. Where do you find a one legged dog?
A. Where you left it.
Dorothy was very upset because her husband Albert had just passed away.
She goes to the mortuary to look at her dearly departed, and the instant she sees him she starts wailing and crying.
One of the attendants rushes up to comfort her. Through her tears she explains that she was upset because Albert was wearing a black suit and that it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue suit.
The attendant apologizes and explains that they always put the bodies in a black suit as a matter of course, but he’d see what he could do.
The next day, Dorothy returns to the mortuary to have one last moment with Albert before his funeral the following day. When the attendant pulls back the curtain, Dorothy manages to smile through her tears as Albert is now wearing a smart blue suit.
She asks the attendant, “How did you manage to get hold of that beautiful blue suit?”
“Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man who was about your husband’s size was brought in, and he was wearing a blue suit. His wife explained that she was very upset, as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit,” the attendant replied.
The woman smiled.
He continued: “After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads around”.

Pentru casa
Inginer fiind, imi plac toate gadget-urile, inovatiile si obiectele do-it-yourself pentru casa. Si internetul e plin de atfel de chestii. Iata ce am gasit in ultimul timp.
- lustra lanterna. De atatea ori mi-am dorit sa pot sa orientez lustra pentru a vedea in colturile ascunse ale camerei. Acum e posibil.
- asternut de pat cu model de cutii de carton. Pentru cei ce vor sa dea impresia de homeless, asta e ocazia.
- niste etichete utile pentru umeras. Sunt utile pentru aceia ce-si fac garderoba in avans pentru o intreaga saptamana. Si pentru a evita confuziile de dimineata cand, buimac de somn, nu mai stii cu ce sa te imbraci.
- un birou nu se face doar din lemn. Merge si din beton. Si chiar arata bine. Iata si instructiunile pentru construirea lui.
- sunt multi carora le plac obiectele acelea de decor cu sclipici inauntru care dau impresia de ninsoare. Si eu sunt unul dintre ei. Si am descoperit si cum imi pot face singur asa ceva. Iata secretul stiuclutelor magice.
- un balansoar cu lampa. Combinatie excelenta pentru citit si relaxare fara a-i deranja pe ceilalti prin aprinderea unei lustre. Si asta nu e tot. Lampa se incarca din miscarea cinetica dezvoltata de balansoar.
- toata lumea uraste manunchiul de cabluri de sub birou. Exista si solutii acum pentru a scapa de ele. Iata una simpla si practica.
- cand vreti sa faceti o renovare si nu stiti ce culoare sa alegeti pentru o camera, colorjive va ajuta. Doar cateva clickuri, un upload al unei poze al incaperii si gata. Puteti sa va jucati cu culorile pentru a gasi combinatia ideala.
Urmatoarele 2 linkuri sunt mai mult pentru timp liber de pierdut si pentru hobby.
- pentru fumatori, urmatorul link s-ar putea dovedi folositor. N-are rost sa aruncati pachetele de tigari. Se pot face niste obiecte destul de interesante. Iata ce poate iesi dintr-un pachet de tigari si nu numai. Il vindeti unui prieten si poate mai recuperati din paguba generata de fumat.
- cateodata, la o masa cu prietenii, cand aveti in fata o bautura intr-un pahar cu un pai sau mai multe, exista fascinatia de a face ceva cu paiul (impletire, rupere, taiere, orice). Iata si un exeplu constructiv: un mic avion dintr-un pai.
