Humor vampirism 004

My need to be technically correct, the best kind of correct, sometimes sucks away my own humor:

The umlaut shows correctly in your comment, David. Like in the following, an umlaut may also be noted by adding an E after the A, O, or U:

„Wenn ich ein kleines Pferd waere ...‟

Part of an assignment in my German class, one continuation of the previous phrase reads:

„Wenn ich ein kleines Pferd waere, wuerde ich eine kleine Pferdestaerke machen.‟

Horsepower from a horse shows that both my German phrase and the following translation are technically accurate:

“If I was a small horse, I would make one small horsepower.”

For further discussion, I reference Wikipedia:

“This unit (German: ,Pferdestärke‛ = horse strength) is no longer a statutory unit, but is still commonly used in Europe, South America, Japan and India especially by the automotive and motorcycle industry.”

The preceding was a response that I left on my blog, so any humor vampirism is more safe this time than in my last attempt at such.

Twitter / Comedy Central: “Brad the Actor gets a #Tosh Web Redemption, and proves he’s more self-aware, ‘without question.’”

“Can’t get enough redemption? Check out this additional footage from last night’s Web Redemption. Daniel talks about the ins and out of acting, modeling…”

Until I replied to David, I was going to share more stale zaniness, but let us become political to suck away more humor.

“Conservatives should rejoice and wish for a long life for Occupy Wall Street, as well as abundant publicity and sufficient organization to endorse congressional candidates deemed worthy. All Democrats eager for OWS’ imprimatur, step forward.”

I sometimes forget that someone not on Family Guy could also be named Brian Griffin.
