Today's Smile

I stopped at a friend's house the other day and found him stalking around with a fly-swatter. When I asked if he was getting any flies, he answered: 'Yeah, three males and two females.' Curious, I asked how he could tell the difference. He said: 'Three were on a beer can and two were on the phone.'

Today's Fact

Heutzutage wird das Datum oft nicht mehr "1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th... of April" geschrieben, sondern nur noch z.B. "24 April 2014" bzw. "April 24, 2014" (USA). Aber: Wie sprechen Sie das Datum jetzt aus? Beim Vorlesen des Datums sagen Sie wie gehabt: "The twenty-fourth of April twenty fourteen" bzw. "April twenty-fourth, twenty fourteen."
