Random Potatoes!
Sunday, October 12, 2008 @ Curiosité by Jeremy L
Une partie très normale de communication est curiosité. Nous communiquons parce que nous voulons découvrir des choses, connu en psychologie comme attribution. Le jeu sur la curiosité a été employé pour des ères, dans la publicité et la conversation journalière. L'inconnu est habituellement une expérience originale. Par exemple, I' ; m faisant une pointe votre curiosité avec ceci, parce que vous ne comprenez pas ce qu'est il. Cependant, quand vous trouvez réellement la traduction, vous pouvez constater que c'est probablement quelque chose que vous savez déjà. Gotcha ! J'ai juste perdu votre temps. Weren' curieux ; t vous ?

Haha, three ways to find out what the above means:
  1. Get a French speaker to translate.
  2. Use an online translator provided here.
  3. Highlight the entire post, you'll find the original translation. (Press Ctrl+A) (For some reason, this blog template doesn't allow viewers to select posts.)
P.S. The online translator isn't exactly reliable though.

A very natural part of communication is curiosity. We communicate because we want to find out things, known in Psychology as attribution. The play on curiosity has been used for eons, in advertising and everyday conversation. The unknown is usually a novel experience. For example, I'm peaking your curiosity with this, because you do not understand what it is. Yet, when you actually find the translation, you may find that this is probably something you already know. Gotcha! I just wasted your time. Curious weren't you?

potato chips
My name is Potatoe, with the 'e' behind. I love potato chips! :D My mama says that ice-cream doesn't come in potato flavour. So my dream is to create a potato-flavoured ice-cream! And potato-flavoured vegetables, meat and possibly, cookies. I also want to design potato-peel clothes. Bwahahaha, POTATOES SHALL DOMINATE THE WORLD!
