Eleven Reasons Why Having E-Mail is Like Having a Penis
Filed Under links, informatique | Leave a Comment
#11. Those who have it would be devastated if it was ever cut off.
#10. Those who have it think that those who don’t are somehow inferior.
#9. Those who don’t have it may agree that it’s neat, but think it’s not worth the fuss that those who have it make about it.
#8. Many of those who don’t have it would like to try it, a phenomenon psychologists call E-mail Envy.
#7. It’s more fun when it’s up, but this makes it hard to get any real work done.
#6. In the distant past, its only purpose was to
transmit information vital to the survival of the species. Some people
still think that’s the only thing it should be used for, but most folks
today use it mostly for fun.
#5. If you don’t take proper precautions, it can spread viruses.
#4. If you use it too much you’ll find it becomes more and more difficult to think coherently.
#3. We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size and influence warrant.
#2. If you’re not careful what you do with it, it can get you into a lot of trouble.
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY E-MAIL IS LIKE HAVING A PENIS:
#1. If you play with it too much, you can go blind.

Sortie du week-end à la Para
Filed Under Sport, Paysages | Leave a Comment
Superbe sortie ce dimanche après les chutes de neige de la fin de semaine. Nous sommes monté à “La Para”, officiellement “La Tornette” qui se situe dans les Alpes Vaudoises. Une jolie course variée et techniquement facile de 1350m de dénivellation et qui nous emmène à 2540m d’altitude. La vue depuis le sommet est superbe et, avec le temps qu’il faisait, il était difficile de ne pas s’arrêter tous les 100m pour prendre des photos…
Depuis le sommet, Le Taran et le village de Leysin en fond
