So far, this is the funniest caption. Why are so many neglecting to post their own captions for this pic? c'mon, everybody, post some captions.

I only have one idea but I don't know how to word in concisely.

The joke is that Astro sneezes and his eyes fall out, but it's not funny if I explain it and I don't think it makes much sense if I just write "Ahchoo!". [/b][/quote]
in 110 Expedition on Mercury, Atom is wearing some very stylish sun glasses to protect his eyes. However, while he is repairing the rocket ship, a coiled spring leaps out of the mechanism, pops his shades from his face, & his eyes immediately burn out.

Sorry for the mess, but the interface won't accept to parse the QUOTE /QUOTE :angry:

French is a lot better in this regard: you'd have known it from the start just because of the grammar! This is one of the thing I miss a little bit when I read English forums, it's hard to know who is male or female! I make those mistakes often.

Personnaly I prefer English in this topic because it is much easier to write gender-neutral sentences using "his/her" for example, even though some people might argue it is not grammatically correct In French it is very difficult because it would imply many other switches in half of the words <_<

I had heard La Marseillaise before but had never paid attention to the lyrics after the first two lines... Wow, it's violent! I know it's because of the context in which it was written but it's really warlike!

Yes, La Marseillaise lyrics are quite violent :wacko: Some people in France avocate changing them to something more adequate

To keep things simple, if fafner wants to write "I am happy", he'll write "Je suis heureux", while I would write "Je suis heureuse". Therefore it's easy to know the gender of the writer because his/her own writing is or will eventually be telling.

BEEEEP ! Information context mixing :wahah: I don't remember having ever made clear of which gender I was on this forum

I did not think I said anything about lyrics, & do not think there were any for the Symphonie Fantistique. I only liked the singing by the women & children in that piece.

I know!

I've never had any doubts about you from the very first time I came here, but maybe I was rash: after all, because of my interests/writing style, I've often been mistaken for a male on the Internet even if I my grammar is correct. :huh: And unlike Uran, I'm not even a tomboy!

So let me rephrase: "To keep things simple, if a man wants to write "I am happy", he'll write "Je suis heureux", while I would write "Je suis heureuse"."

I hope you are heureux... errr... happy!

Astro: "Who are you?"

"Your conscience!...Or the other head of yours which you had dented on Peligro. From this day on I'm going to haunt you everytime you open any closet!"

EYES: Uhhh.....boo.

Astro: "Uran, stop looking at me with those pleading eyes. I'm not going to enroll with you in that ballroom dancing contest!"

Funny one, Doc, but I still think that Astro forever's caption about Uranium listening to the rapper is the funniest one.
