The lads go for the marathon WR.

Jake, Luke, and Adam were feeling mighty sprightly on the day. So they decided to pit their running skills against the Tumbleator.

Their goal; to sprint each kilometre of the legendary 42.195km in slightly under 3 minutes, which is how fast they'd need to run just to equal Kelvin Kiptum's marathon WR of 2hrs and 35 seconds.

Needless to say it went all kinds of ways. Jake lasted a while before falling and hitting his head on the deck, Luke held up pretty manfully until the inevitable overstriding caught up with him. And Adam, well, let's just say that Adam's gone back to the drawing board.

Mashabiki wa lugha hawa.

Wajerumani wakiongea Kiswahili kama wenyewe.

Kiswahili kimesambaa kweli. Lakini hapo zamani, Kiswahili kilikuwa kinazungumzwa pwani ya Afrika Mashariki pekee, na sana sana katika eneo la Tanzania na Unguja. Kwingineko, Kiswahili imekuwa lugha inayozungumzwa katika sehemu mbali mbali za ulimwengu, zikiwemo Bara Ulaya, Japan, na kadhalika.

Na wenyenji hawa wa Ujerumani ambao walikuwa wamehudhuria kongamano la Kiswahili pale chuo kikuu cha Hamburg, wanathibitisha wazi kwamba mtu yeyote anaweza kukizungumza Kiswahili kama mzaliwa asili wa Afrika.

Meme worthy.

The dangers of being "understood."

Bertrand Russell, polymath.

A famous quote of Russell's states, "A stupid man's report of what a clever man said is never accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something that he can understand."

And it's a quote that's still relevant in its inference. Indeed there's many a clever man or woman who'd sooner not be read or understood, than have their words "interpreted" and purpose fitted to suit the unclever agendas of idiots.
