The *real* funny part is, when he calls the audience – and they vote for ‘le soleil’. Not sure, but wasn’t there this guy, Coperni…something, a few hundred years ago, who claimed it was the other way round? Hah! The guy in the video would show him!
Perhaps you’re right. In any case: poor fellow – the whole world is watching him making a fool of himself. In his shoes, I wouldn’t leave the house for months.
I'm a student of computational linguistics and theoretical linguistics, currently living in Heidelberg, Germany. Most of what I do is related to technology and programming, or linguistics, or all of these.
Alors, ça fait mal.

Yeah that’s what I was refering to. Either they wanted to fool him or this is real. The latter I refuse to believe.
