1. SD10: the final frontier

As images of SD10 filter out, the defining one has yet to manifest itself but in this image of a woman helping her Iron Man-themed friend pee into a bottle we have a fetish-palooza: water sports, mascots, bondage, superheroes. No wonder Comic-con is all things to all people. But the one message that this image inspires is the one that all of Con should remember: friendship. When a costume restricts arm motion to the point you can’t unzip your fly, may you always have a buddy to hold the bottle, if you know what we mean.

2. National Dictionary Day: German

Earlier today we introduced you to some of the words you can learn in the French section of Oxford Language Dictionaries Online, which are freely available through the 21st. But perhaps French isn’t your thing. Well, how about German? Take the quiz below to see how much you know and if you get stuck turn to OLDO for help. Be sure to check back this afternoon for me Dictionary Day fun from OLDO!

Question 1: Your German friend tells you in conversation, “Das ist nicht mein Bier.” But you’re not drinking beer! What does he mean?

Question 2: English speakers say “kill two birds with one stone”. What do German speakers say?

Question 3: If a German offers you Himmel und Erde, what should you expect?

Question 4: English speakers say “it’s no picnic”, but how would you say this in German?

Question 5: What do Germans see instead of “pink elephants”? (more…)
