Who said PC-Games are not art?

Well, well, sometimes PC-Games do encourage creativity. As for instance the Gamestar proofed with art competitions of PC inspired pictures and virtually or real arrangements.

Now also GoRRaX, a member of my “Guild Wars”-Guild, created some banners for our guild.

Well, well. All that technology!

 

Something similar happened to my godmother:
She returned from shopping and had to cross the street. She waited at red lights and heard a noise. In the belief that this traffic light is one of those making sounds to assist blind persons she assumed that the source of that noise was the traffic light. The only thing that made her wonder was the fact that the noise matched her mobile phones ring tone.
On top of that, she suddenly heard a voice out of her bag, namely that of her daughter. Utterly flabbergasted she began to think of herself going cuckoo. She would hear a traffic light emitting ring tones and her bag talking into her with the voice of her daughter.

Back home she described her worries to her daughter who replied confusedly that she actually did phone her!!! This took a load of her mind since she does not hear imaginary voices, yet.

Pleasant pedagogues

He is a myth at our school! Our English and former Latin-teacher. Be it the rumors about his wooden foot, which is said to make him recognizable over a great distance, as if Captain Ahab is taking a walk over the deck of the Pequod, or his reputation as an Ex-Veteran-Nazi-Officer, or his grown famous quotes like “I surely am not the negro wiping the board for you!” and “On Monday I will take care of you, but with an axe!” or “In your case they should reintroduce death penalty !”.
Strangely enough, he was left unchecked by school administration in spite of such and other commentarys.

Recently he performed, in my opinion, his gravest impudence:
A female classmate’s father deceased not long ago. When she returned (for some time she was exempted from school due to her recent tragic loss) off all things she was lucky enough to rejoin a lesson of the aforementioned.
He quizzed vocabulary and definitions. 4 implied words were funeral, body, desperate and to bury. These were the only terms associated with this exact topic. And for every single one of these four words he asked the girl whose father died recently!!! The first word he quizzed was “funeral” which he asked her. After that he asked another pupil the word before, so he went back because he actually skipped this word specifically for her. There you might have thought “OK, that was a coincidence”. But already after the second time doubts regrew and not later than the third time it became clear that can’t be fortuitousness .
And there is nothing you can do against this (excuse my French) asshole. Because teacher is always right.
