Short and (not so) sweet this week - After ever after

 Can I just say this? THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! Ah, it's good to let it out! Welcome back or just welcome, it is nice to have you here!

So while Paprika dreams of sailing around the globe and L. is enjoying a long week end on Planet Mars, I am left to entertain you before the weekend. 

I must admit, I am feeling a certain pressure after L.'s last Brèves and the unbeatable pony video. I know the post is in French but just skip straight to the video, it's worth it. Still, I love a challenge...

 
Anyways, in our usual "short and sweet" Friday style, I give you... completely random pics, facts and videos that made my week a bit more bearable. 

Do you remember that guy?

Starting with the serious-ish scientific stuff, paleontologists in Spain have discovered Dinosaur eggs and been able to identify 4 different species (that's a first). Does it also make you wonder if they're going to pull a "Jurassic Park" on us and start growing baby dinosaurs? I mean, with genetic science, can they extract some DNA and clone it? Where do you store live dinosaurs? 





Speaking of meteors, scientists in Russia are currently developing the ultimate protection shield against meteorites:

But let's get to the core of this post, the REALLY important stuff, the question we ALL want an answer to (admit it!): what happens to all the Disney princesses AFTER their happily ever after? John Cozart, aka PAINT, answers that question in this hilarious video (and the guy has serious talent!).

 

The Princesses and Persie are going to kill me for this...

On this optimistic and happy note, y'all have an amazing week end, but most of all:

On Dolfin Raves and G&T: c'est vendredi !

Hello and Bonjour ! 

Yes this is Friday and we are all looking forward to our after work drinks. 
 L. and I have a thing for Gin and Tonic (G&T), which makes some of my English colleagues laugh, as apparently only older people order those. Well, I have it under pretty good authority that cooler people drink them too! So imagine how excited I was to find out last night (thanks to my flatmate) that they even come in cans!

Oui c'est vendredi, et on n'a tous qu'une hâte c'est d'aller boire ce verre après le boulot.
L. et moi on a un faible pour le Gin and Tonic (G&T). Mes collègues anglaises disent que c'est un truc de vieux mais je sais de source sûre que c'est une boisson pour les gens cool. La preuve en images : je viens de découvrir grâce à ma coloc que ça s'achète même en canette !

For this Friday's short and sweet post, here's a few random facts L. gathered for us through the week.

Pour la brève de cette semaine, voilà quelques faits divers collectés par L.

Let's start with the scary stuff: apparently, some scientists have created a zombie cell! How creepy is that? And they say it's actually more functional than its living counterpart. I don't know about you but L. and I are freaking out here, will we all end like this?!?

Commençons par le truc flippant : il semble que des scientifiques viennent de créer la première cellule zombie ! Apparemment elle serait même plus fonctionnelle que son alter ego vivant. Je sais pas vous mais L. et moi on panique un peu là. Est-ce qu'on va tous finir comme ça ?!? 

Although... Quoique...

Pourquoi avoir peur d'une invasion zombie
quand vous êtes déjà des zombies ?

Ok ok, week end is near and we want happy stuff so here you go: Dophins (no, we will NOT post cute kittens, you'll have to make do with the dolphins!). In California an exceptionnally huge pod of dolphins was witnessed, apparently thousands of them all swimming together (below). Rumour (or should I say L.?) has it that they were all going to a massive rave party!

Bon ok, c'est bientôt le weekend et on veut plutôt sourire, donc voilà des dauphins (NON, on ne postera pas de chatons mignons, va falloir vous contenter des dauphins !). Sur la côte californienne a été observé un énorme banc de dauphins, plusieurs milliers d'entre eux nageant dans la même direction (ci-dessus). Apparemment ils avaient tous rencard à la rave du siècle (en tout cas d'après L.).


And last but not least, a couple of weeks ago a diver saved a dolphin that had come to him asking for help (what do you mean, dolphins "again"? Who gets tired of dolphins? Stop complaining and maybe next time I'll get you some pandas).

Et pour terminer, il y a une quinzaine de jours, un plongeur a sauvé un dauphin qui était venu lui demander de l'aide (comment ça "encore" des dauphins ? on ne se lasse pas des dauphins ! Si vous arrêtez de râler peut-être que la prochaine fois je vous trouverai des pandas).

Come on, only a few more hours to go, so remember: 

Allez, plus que quelques heures à tenir alors souvenez-vous :

Quand vous avez un coup de blues,
imaginez un T-Rex en train de faire son lit

Bon weekend !

L. et Min'
