Chagas abertas, Sagrado Coração todo amor e bondade, o sangue do meu Senhor Jesus Cristo, no meu corpo se derrame, hoje e sempre.
Eu andrei vestido e armado, com as armas de São Jorge.
Para que meus inimigos tendo pés não me alcancem, tendo mãos não me peguem, tendo olhos não me enxerguem e nem pensamentos eles possam ter, para me fazerem mal.
Armas de fogo o meu corpo não alcançarão, facas e lanças se quebrarão sem ao meu corpo chegar, cordas e correntes se arrebentarão sem o meu corpo amarrarem.
Jesus Cristo me proteja e me defenda com o poder da sua Santa e Divina graça, a Virgem Maria de Nazaré, me cubra com o seu sagrado e divino manto, me protegendo em todas as minhas dores e aflições, e Deus com a sua divina misericórdia e grande poder, seja meu defensor contra as maldades e perseguições dos meus inimigos e o glorioso São Jorge, em nome de Deus, em nome de Maria de Nazaré, em nome da falange do divino Espírito Santo, estenda-me o seu escudo e as suas poderosas armas defendendo-me com a sua força e com a sua grandeza, do poder dos meus inimigos carnais e espirituais e de todas as suas más influências e que debaixo das patas do fiel ginête, meus inimigos fiquem humildes e submissos a vós, sem se atreverem a ter um olhar sequer, que me possa prejudicar.
Assim seja com o poder de Deus e de Jesus e da falange do divino Espírito Santo.

Mari Hirata dá a letra do miso:
"Cada casa prepara seu próprio miso há séculos, o que explica a variedade atual. Ainda hoje, longe das metrópoles, sua produção caseira é feita anualmente, preservando o gosto familiar, tal como o vinho ou o azeite na cultura européia.
Sempre gostei de fazer meu próprio pão; portanto, não poderia deixar de produzir também o miso. Apesar do pouco espaço, aventurei-me nesse inverno e fiz minha produção anual: 8 quilos, a receita mínima, mas vou precisar de pelo menos 2 anos para consumir isso tudo ..."

Tom-B botando na roda este sensacional santinho do Sto Expedito feito pelo cobiaco.
"St. Expeditus is related to the Voodoo Culture of New Orleans, as a Loa, or Voodoo "saint" invoked for speedy solutions. In addition, St-Expédit is a cult figure on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, where blood-red shrines populate the countryside, decorated with candles and, occasionally, underwear."

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

There are 190 pieces of two shapes - 115 'fat hens' and 75 'skinny roosters', plus 5 'rogue dogs'. The tiles are precision-made in high quality plastic; the supplied 24 inch square (60cm) base board (which gives the approximate size of the finished tiling) is very sturdy and conveniently stores in four pieces.
Unlike conventional puzzles, where only one piece fits properly into a particular place in the puzzle, in Perplexing Poultry each piece fits into every other piece - and can do so in several ways!
There are six distinct levels of difficulty with Perplexing Poultry. The first level is where the player uses the bird shapes only. As the player increases in ability, the five dog pieces may be added one by one. Each time a dog is added, Perplexing Poultry becomes progressively more perplexing! There are over 40 solutions in all!

Graying cyberpunk that I am ... all carpal-tunnel and bifocals ... I can well remember some weirdo pals in the Information-Wants-to-Be-Free contingent, idly wondering what would happen if the business world ever "discovered the Internet." Obviously they would buy up every machine in sight and try to make a profit at it. That much was dead obvious, for that was the period's Reagan-Thatcherite modus operandi. Clearly all us artsy cybergoofballs would have to find some other place to chatter and swap our lies, like, say, faxes or CB radio.
But one scenario was way too far-fetched and idealistic, even for the likes of us. What if it turned out that the Net was just plain too much for business to handle? That it was downright toxic to free enterprise?

Ev citando o User Interface Design for Programmers do Joel:
"If usability engineers designed a nightclub, it would be clean, quiet, brightly lit, with lots of places to sit down, plenty of bartenders, menus written in 18-point sans-serif, and easy-to-find bathrooms. But nobody would be there. They would all be down the street at Coyote Ugly pouring beer on each other."
