otheymzefedaykin Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I've forgotten, there was a franco-belgian techno band in the early 90's named Pleasure game. One of their hits in france and Belgium was "le Dormeur" ("the sleeper"), the track quoted the famous sentence "the sleeper must awaken !" in french "le dormeur doit se r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spacing Guild Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 In the song "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim, the phrase "If you walk without rhythm, you won't attract the worm" alludes to the sandworms of Dune.Enjoy! http://sandworm.ytmnd.com/Â :)[EDIT]Also, in an episode of Jimmy Neutron, Jimmy's teacher Ms. Fowl becomes miniaturized and ends up riding a worm found in an apple like a Sandworm.

piterdevries Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 here's a spinoff to magic the gathering named space the convergence..http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/feature/391look at the examples of cards at the near bottom of the page, find the card Neural Klaxon. the card shows a triangluar shaped device with a hole in the middle. the flavor text says : "this is a test. This is only a test" which obviously is similar to the agony box, except that the neural klaxon is triangular! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 "Could you please explain that? As a non-native speaker I must have missed a point..."The verbs are in the wrong person. You probably haven't picked up on this because Russian doesn't have the verb "to be" in the present finite. The verb conjugates:I am / We areYou are / You areHe, she, it is / They areTherefore, "I are Dunecat" should be "I am Dunecat"Note also that "controls" is third person singular (the he, she, or it form). Regular English verbs, unlike Russian and other languages, don't normally change their endings based on who's doing the action, but they do in the third person singular - in most cases, they just add an "s". You've obviously learnt to do it automatically, as I've never seen you do it wrong, but you're not aware of it. Hence, "he controls the spice" and "whoever controls the spice" are correct, but we should say "I control the spice", not "I controls the spice".

MrFlibble Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 No no no, I noticed the wrong use of personal forms of course, but I don't know what stylistic functioning, if any, does it have - if it has been done intentionally ??? BTW, am I right to assume you're a linguist, Nema? I think some remark by a forum member (possibly Edric O) hinted that you're a linguist.

TagDaze Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hmm, well, it's a joke from 4chan. It started out with stuff like a cat looking very very cute, going "Is it can be hug tiem now plees?", which passed on its bad grammar on to a cat licking its paw with the caption "I has a flavor", and eventually ending up with Dunecat.If you want to know more about various internet memes (which are in-jokes in all their forms, not just a picture, as pointed out earlier - that's called a macro), I encourage you to go to encyclopediadramatica.com. It's the repository for everything lulz on the internets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
