German humor

😀   Rough and politically wrong.


In a fake TV documentary many years ago, some faked 'Citizens of Poland' in very loud clothes 'claimed' that their deceased uncle had authored every pop song of the last century, and proceeded to prove this by playing them with tubas and other very loud instruments - making every one sound like a polka.

The whole extended family joins in, 'Seductive Sis' sings while her pay-by-call phone number is displayed on the screen, and so on.

"Having stolen their electricity" (another bad cliche, if anything, we're stealing theirs), they are 'forced' to turn the volume down to a whisper from their side so as not to attract too much attention, thereby forcing everyone watching the show to turn up their own TV sets to *full volume* so as to even hear anything - knowing full well they would suddenly turn it up again at the other end, but not WHEN...

After lulling the audience by drawing it into the nationwide party until way past midnight, "Aunty Marushka", dancing at the controls, heated by the beat, suddenly and out of nowhere kicks the volume into overdrive with abandon, making EVERY SINGLE TV SET in Germany running that show suddenly and simultaneously roar out full-blast polka dance music at *full volume* in the middle of the night,  and every one still watching or perhaps using the bathroom lunge for their remote control to cut the volume again - which then takes a few seconds.

And forget at what point that just happened.


So it worked every time.

Time Gravity Dip

Something to think about... Note that the end speed seems not to change, therefore the second law / conservation of energy is not violated -  but somewhere along the way, the effect of gravity shortens the overall time, thus increasing the overall speed (though the actual distance of travel also increased as well), so that the sphere with the longest way to travel paradoxically hits the target first . This works even in repetition:     Now imagine the opposite - a cannon ball shot (or a rock hurled) straight up into the air, to fall down exactly where it was: the distance is zero (or, if you miss, very short), but time did pass - and the speed of the projectile was much higher than can be inferred from that resulting 'distance'; in fact, the higher its velocity, the more time passes until it's return, and the slower or lower the resulting overall speed (remember that the trajectory of any missile on earth is always longer than the actual di...

Order, Complexity and Information

Order and Complexity in view of Information Order and Complexity have been used almost synonymously in this concept of gravitationally induced order throughout the universe; and though they are not quite the same, rightfully so. What has been missing is that order and complexity convey information . And this plays into the concept of entropy vs. negentropy (or negative entropy , which, again, does not exist ; what is meant is less entropy.) 1.    One manifestation or concept of entropy is that of disorder ; ergo, the opposite, negative entropy , manifests itself as negative disorder , less disorder or, simply, order . 2.    Another concept describes negative entropy as a measure of the information content of a system; the more entropy a system expresses, the less information it contains: Maximum disorder is maximum disorder. Maximum order is maximum order (which is far more difficult to express or assert). Comparing two identical...
