We've all suspected that if the arch-villain of the Christian mythos actually existed that George W. Bush would have sold his soul to him.

Not to be outdone, apparently Democratic Presidential hopeful John Kerry has made some contacts within the Satan organization as well as demonstrated in this news clipping:


Note: This has now been debunked as a hoax by the page upon which the image originally appeared. Still amused me, even if it's a fake.

Somehow, this reminds me of arienm and her misadventures with her (non-paying, deadbeat) PHB. Since what she seems to do most of the time revolves around making websites for auto racing teams, it seemed to fit.

Racing star Michael Schumacher confused his interviewer on French TV by speaking English and ignoring the French/German interpreter provided. When the interviewer switched to German, the chaos was complete.

Six-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher's demonstration of his linguistic abilities has left France somewhat confused.

In a live TV show on the channel France 2, he was introduced as a "German phenomenon." Linguistic confusion then set in as Schumacher bypassed the interpreter specially brought in to translate from French into German for him, opting instead to use his schoolbook English.

To add to the chaos, another guest, ageing French rock star Johnny Halliday, then chose to boast in English that he had driven his Ferrari much faster than the world Number One. But what totally flummoxed Schumacher was when the host praised him (in German this time!) for not being a "Torte," the word for a German cream cake. The presenter must have literally translated a French expression using the word "tarte" and meaning "you're no fool."

What's the latest on the monies you're owed, arienm? They're tied up in probate, or have been secreted out of the country by aliens, or sprouted wings and flew off or the like? Perhaps you just need to do a Schumaker and reply to him continually in Spanish. ;-)
