'In English,' Professor Austin said, 'a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.' A voice from the back of the room piped up, 'Yeah, right.'

The Grand Tour V

An incorrigible cad out of Wales  Indulges in nighttime travails, And o'er green dales and valleys, Keeps impeccable tallies Of all the young Welsh girls he nails.

This is absolutely incredible, and surprisingly affordable!

The glove is flexible, easy to use, cheap to produce and battery operated. Each glove has 15 flex sensors. The sensors decipher hand motions in the air. A hearing-impaired person would use the glove and app to communicate with someone who doesn’t know sign language.

The glove picks up the hand gestures and the Enable Talk smartphone app translates the data. 

this is so interesting guys! i’m not really sure who would be willing to wear this glove all the time, but the video is worth watching and its actually a very cool idea if it wasn’t so expensive and kinda ugly… haha i mean it would be easier to just write out your message but oh well.

To boldly go where no man has gone before

There once was a Captain named Kirk

Who had quite a dazzling smirk.

From Scalos to Kelva

This space Casanova

Was likely to "bring home his work".
