i was casting my mind back to my viewing of the coen brothers’ latest attempt to mind-fuck everyone recently. to the particular bit where the boy is doing the reading at his bar mitzvah.
it turns out youre not allowed to touch the torah. you have to point at it with your yad. here are some yads:
it reminded me of the scene in spinal tap where the interviewer wasnt allowed to touch the guitar. or even look at it.
we digress. now, if youre ever on millionaire-israel, then a question about the yad will be worth about 20 shekels. or 100$ in aus millionaire (the first question). but, on aus millionaire it would be worth maybe 8000$, on account of the jews not liking living in australia. its a culture-related question so its a bit tricky to price. a hundred dollar question in australia, could easily be a million dollar question in the u.s.
still, we’re digressing. now obviously there are mouse pointers in windows that look like yads.
not a yad
but theyre not yads. NOR are they mouse pointers. theyre cursors. when you change your mouse pointer to an animated fucking dinosaur, then youre actually changing the mouse cursor. oh i wouldnt make this shit up. knowing this wont help you get laid either. unless youre bill gates.
now where was i going with this. ahhhhhhhhh thats right. nick got laid. well done nick. just play it cool though man. dont update your facebook status just yet. its early days.
