Albrecht Durer: Art for Art Week Oct 30 - Nov 5, A JBmemegeek & Sir_Unknown event

I hate it when that happens! ;)

Haha

Checkmate in one move !! You just took that to a whole 'nother level my friend!

Tropical Depression!

That's very clever! I'd have to meet them somewhere in the middle.

lol

You cant' figure out the e-slide with a real circle alone.

Excellent artwork.

Ha! Good one mate! Oh and thanks! I actually waited til howloeen to slip this one in!

Awesome noobie! Thanks for participating in 1yj5nk.jpg (click to show)

Noobie? I doubt it, more like alt-noobie..

What makes you think that?

Now a real alt would have used the Picard image on the first go. Just because I have a good grasp on memes doesn't mean I not new to the site. Alts are generally considered uncool, aren't they?

I don't consider Alts uncool in general - it all depends. Alt can also mean lots of experience and showing a different aspect - that is cool in my opinion. Posting this Dürer image on a mostly American website is at least unusual - and I think really cool!

Haven't looked at my comments for a long time (land when I added the cryptic French citation, I had to cheer myself up) - thank you so much for this! I haven't seen it either (unfortunately very little time ..), but I copied your post and will try to look at it during Christmas vacation, it looks like fun. .

Thanks for the information! Will try it next time.

for your meme (!) and comment. I am glad I provoked you, so we had a little talk (instead of just "upvote" and "thank you") - I do not get this opportunity often here.

Getting back on this comment (last night I was too tired) - OMG, I know about translating (including machine translations), its one of the biggest curses old Babylon brought to us. English is not my mother tongue and i do not live in an English speaking country as you might have guessed (although I have to use this language half of my time) - and even when translating between my mother tongue and English (which are relatively closely related) there are arising so many problems. There is only one way out of this: define, define, define the word you are using, if they are ambiguous (I could give you some nice quotes here, but I refrain from it). This might already solve half of the problems of the world.

Oh, you are in im right now (west coast?)! Correct (of course). Was just trying to make sense out of your English translation of that quote on that picture (didn't have the time and the mood before) - thank goodness I am in the right mood right now.

correct. That is the whole graffiti ("the four Nina turtles") in Brooklyn by that Autralian artist - found it in tumblr about 2 years ago, it took my breath.

What potions have I drunk of Siren tears,
Distill'd from lymbecks foul as hell within,
Applying fears to hopes, and hopes to fears,
Still losing when I saw myself to win!
......
(I couldn't resist).

Quatrain 2,13
Le corps sans ame plus n'estre en sacrifice,
Iour de la mort mis en natiuit:
L'esprit diuin fera l'ame felice,
Voiant le verbe en son eternite.
The rest is silence ...

If you you don't understand (medieval) French and wish to understand this, please let me know, and I'll translate it (with the annotations it needs).

It is Nostradamus, of course.
"The body without soul is not any longer the sacrificed being
The day of death is taken as a birthday.
The divine spirit renders the soul happy
when it see the word in its eternity."
This relates to other verses. The "word" is the one of John 1,1 (New Testament) (horrible usual translation (already in the Latin version) from Greek: "in the beginning was the word, and the word was with ...etc.". Of course, Nostradamus new that this translation is nonsense, but he used it to fool the inquisition. The original Greek (in transliteration) is:
en Archêi ên ho Logos
kai ho Logos ên pros ton Theon
kai Theos ên ho Logos

Everything depends on the translation of the word "Logos". If you want to find the correct translation (and defintiion of Theos, since it is a bijection) in this context, you have check the meaning of this word as one of the oldest Greek philosophers, namely Heraklit, understood it (I leave it up to you to google it, at least in the German chapter of Wikipedia about Heraklit it is explained correctly). I have posted this here a couple of times, but no-one was really interested in it.

Oh, these typos - *present" of course .....

Almost correct - but unfortunately it is more than that, the hell memory is written in matter and shows up when you least need it (this is partly true for heaven as well, but most of heaven is imaginary, and thus a true matter of the mind).

LOL - but even more that, they can cost you enormous amounts of money and in the worst case destroy a work completely.

LOL! Yes, I am kind of a writer - but not of normal literature (cannot tell more here, except that it is more related to science)!

or Buddhistic science, or Daoistic science, or Islamic science, or .. etc. But in the end, any law has to be described in physical-mathematical terms (otherwise you just have chaos), since this is the ony language that (at least when the bugs of it - which exist in not too scarce amount!!! - will be eliminated) can be unambiguously defined.
(I have to quit now and get some work done)

Thank you. The pleasure was on my side! Hope, we will continue this right here (everyone else probably has forgotten your meme, no boobs involved, at least directly ...), it's fun!

By "Law" I mean of course decribing the universe or nature - not the "legal" human-made laws that include some type of judging.

and I expressly exclude Paulus of Tarsus.

but it's already all in your meme (except the cheers)..........seems that you really gazed long into the abyss,<3.

Alt - it's either the German "alt" (old) or the abbreviation for "alternative". And "alternative" is actually without any evaluation - it has onyl the meaning of another "aspect" - but unfortunately here it is often used for the "bullying" aspect of a person, and not for a nice alternative aspect.
