Klingon marriage ceremony 

With fire and steel did the gods forge the Klingon heart. So fiercely did it beat, so loud was the sound that the gods cried out, "On this day we have brought forth the strongest heart in all the heavens. None can stand before it without trembling at its strength."

But then the Klingon heart weakened, the steady rhythm faltered and the gods asked, "Why have you weakened so? We have made you the strongest in all of creation."

And the heart said: "I am alone."

And the gods knew they had erred, so they went back to their forge and brought forth another heart. But the second heart beat stronger than the first, and the first was jealous of its power.
Fortunately, the second heart was tempered by wisdom. "If we join together, no force can stop us."

And when the two hearts began to beat together, they filled the heavens with a terrible sound. For the first time, the gods knew fear. They tried to flee, but it was too late. The Klingon hearts destroyed the gods who created them, and turned the heavens to ashes. To this very day, no one can oppose the beating of two Klingon hearts.

Forum discussion on piracy 

Buck: So there are no net police....
Karthon:Oh there are net police, but it's like playing cops and robbers with 10 cops, 1 million robbers, and a space the size of california to hide in. And they need proof you're sharing with intent, not that you're an illiterate computer fool who backed up his data and left his computer shared.

German Trial Exam; Writing Component 

Question 13
a) You have witnessed an incident in the school playground. Write a recount of the events to give to the Deputy Principle.


Fraulein Schneider,

Diese Woche habe ich etwas im Schulhof bemerkt. In der kleinen Pause sieht alles ganz normal aus. Aber in der Mittagspause spielten die Kinder von der siebten Klasse ein bestimmtes Spiel. Es sah wie etwas von einem Horrorfilm aus. Die meisten Kinder spielten als normale Menschen; einige als Polizei, und eine kleine Gruppe spielte aus "Dracula".
Bis Halbzeit saren die meisten "Zombies", und die "Menschen" schrien und versteckten sich. Die "Polizei" versuchen, die unsterblichen "Zombies" zu töten.
Aber die bestimmte Kinder waren die "Dracula" Kinder. Sie haben tatsächlich begonnen, die andere Kinder zu beissen, um ihre Blut zu trinken. Ich habe es mit meinen eigene Augen gesehen. Heute hat einen Jongen versucht, mein Blut zu trinken!
Gestern haben einige "Polizei" imitatione Waffe zur Schule mitgebracht, und vier Kinder waren verletzt. Sie waren "Zombies"; an ihre Hälse war Beisskratzer, und die "Menschen" hatten sie vergrabt.
Dieser Speil ist gefährlich. Sie müssen etwas machen, bevor die Kinder echte Waffen oder Messer in die Schule bringen; bevore jemand wirklich tot ist!

Teacher's comment: (I know it was Friday 13th, but this story is a bit beyond belief!)
Mark: 3/6



Translation of Question 13a) response

Ms Schneider,
This week, I have noticed something on the school playground. During the short break, everything seemed totally normal. But during midday break, the children from the seventh grade played a particular game. It looked like something out of a horror movie. Most children played as normal "People"; some as "Police", and a small group played as "Dracula".
By half time, most were "Zombies", and the "People" were screaming and hiding themselves. The "Police" sought ways to kill the undead "Zombies".
But the most interesting group were the "Dracula" children. They had actually begun to bite other children, in order to drink their blood. I saw it with my own eyes. Today a boy tried to drink my blood!
Yesterday, a few "Police" brought imitation weapons to school, and four children were injured. They were "Zombies"; there were bite marks on their throats, and the "People" had buried them.
This game is dangerous. You must do something before the children bring real weapons or knives to school, before someone really dies!

Talli, from the eighth grade

On heads 

"Ninety-two coins spun consecutively have come down heads ninety-two consecutive times." - Guildenstern; Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

"'And this young lady is Hallis.'
'Where's your other head?'
She gave him a sorrowful look. 'When I was walking around today, I met a young man who had no head. Just a stump that suggested he had a long, sad story to tell. But of course he couldn't, because he had no head.'" - Wedge Antilles, Tomer, and Hallis; Aaron Allston's Starfighters of Adumar

"There is much promise / in the circumstance / that so many people have heads" - Miroslav Holub; found in A. Alvarez's Night

A chinese immigrant came over to Australia, looking for a job. After searching for quite some time, he finally got an interview.
His prospective employer said to him, "Ok. I know you're from overseas, your english probably isn't too good, so I'll make this easy for you. Just make a sentence with the words 'green', 'pink' and 'yellow' in it."
The immigrant replied, "The phone goes green green, so I pink it up and say, 'yellow yellow?'"
