One of my favourite jokes

En español

I thought I'll share one of favourite jokes with all off you. Some of you may know it, but it never gets old. Here it is:

During the Dark Ages, the Pope decreed that all Jews living in Rome had to leave. The Jews did not want to leave so the Pope challenged them to a disputation. No one offered to debate with the Pope until the synagogue janitor, Moishe volunteered. As he was the only one who offered, he was given the responsibility. But, because he only spoke Hebrew, a silent debate was agreed. 

They went to St Peter's Square to sort out the decision, on the day of the disputation. Firstly, the Pope waived his hand around his head and Moishe pointed firmly at the ground. The Pope was surprised and pointed up three fingers. Moishe pointed his middle finger at him. The crowd started to complain but the Pope waived at them to be quiet. The Pope held up a glass of wine and a wafer, then Moishe reached into his pocket and held up an Apple. The Pope said in Latin, "This man is too good, the Jews can stay in Rome". 

What language fits your personality?

Language is communication. Communication in different parts evolved to be more beneficial for those who speak it. These changes gave the language a 'personality'. Lets find out what language suits your personality. This is my expression of these languages.

Spanish:
An easy to spell and pronounce language which has a Latin American exoticness. If it was a food it would be spicy without too much to burn on your tongue. It can be helpful with business, if you live in the Americas. It can be seen as a travellers language as it is the second most spoken language after Chinese.

Comparing politician signatures with Greek and Hebrew Letters

Recently I've noticed that many politicians of high importance have Greek and Hebrew letters in their signatures. This is what I've noticed: 

USA –

Barack Obama: The 'O' is a 'phi'.

George W. Bush: The last two letters resemble the Hebrew letters: 'kof' and 'shin'.

Joe Biden: The ‘e’ looks like the cursive Hebrew ‘gimel’ and ‘B’ looks like a ‘kof’.  

Mitt Romney: The double 't' resembles the Greek letter ‘pi’ and ‘R’ resembles a stylised version of the Hebrew letter ‘he’.

UK –

Tony Blair: The ‘B’ resembles the Greek letter ‘beta’ and ‘l’ resembles the cursive Hebrew letter ‘tzadik’.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge: The ‘w’ resembles the Greek letter (lower case) ‘upsilon’ and ‘y’ resembles a stretched out cursive Hebrew ‘bet’.

France – 

François Hollande: The top of the signature resembles the Greek letter ‘pi’ and the two 'l' look like two ‘tzadik’-s. 

François Fillon: The 'O' looks like the Greek letter ‘phi’, ‘the second last letter in the first half of the signature resembles 'omega’ and the 'i' resembles cursive Hebrew letter ‘gimel’.

Nicolas Sarkozy: The 'N' resembles the cursive Hebrew letter ‘chet’ and the 'l' and 'S' resemble two ‘pe’-s. 

China – 

Hu Jintao: There are the Greek letters ‘phi’ , ‘omega’, ‘tau’ in it.
