UFO

UFO
An unidentified flying object (often abbreviated UFO layer of American English UFO means unidentified flying object) is an aerial phenomenon that one or more witnesses said they observed without being able to identify or track that can be been recorded by different types of sensors (video camera, camera, radar, etc.). but we know neither the origin nor the exact nature or the lack or inadequacy of investigation does not identify correctly. In most cases, these observations and evidence, if they do not fall for the hoax, are the result of a misunderstanding with an aerial object known (air, balloon, reentry, etc..). Sometimes we continue to speak even though the UFO phenomenon behind the observations were determined and explained, prompting the scientific community to speak of lack of UFOs, the small number of cases remaining unexplained belonging to it in the long list of mistakes, hoaxes or hallucinations.

Those studying these phenomena are called ufologists, the French equivalent, ovniologue, is less often used. Ufology (or ovniologie) is the study of ufos or UFOs. In France, instead of talking GEIPAN aerospace phenomenon Unidentified (PAN), the term "phenomenon" is in most cases more appropriate than "object", even if the term is not used in the literature by other scientific researchers.

In popular culture, the term UFO used generally to refer to any alleged extraterrestrial spacecraft, but "flying saucer" is also regularly used. By extension, the term used to describe the UFO as a humorous character or object that appears out of nowhere and usually has no future (example: "a UFO in the political landscape").

Prehistory and Antiquity
Tales of unidentified aerial phenomena have been around a long time. Some ufologists have made fanciful theories about our history or reports of interpretations of elements archéologiques.Ces ideas are found in books to sense but none of these ideas have been included in a history book or Archaeological. This historical delirium [non-neutral] is included in the theory of ancient astronauts).

Middle Age and Renaissance
At that time, it is mainly a question of occult phenomena, with theoreticians like Agrippa and Paracelsus. The influence of religion is real because the celestial phenomena are regarded as divine or warnings as expressions which are responsible for evil wizards and witches.

* Woodcut by Hans Glaser (1566), Nuremberg. On April 14, 1561, the author describes an allegory of the battle of good against mal.Certains ufologists (publishing books sensational but no items in history) will interpret this as an invasion of Germany by a multitude of objects or -telling involved in an air battle.

First modern reports
Before the terms "flying saucer" and "UFO" were invented, there were a number of reports of strange unidentified aerial phenomena. These reports range from the mid-nineteenth century to the late 1940s.

* In July 1868, according to Chilean investigators of the phenomenon (the IOC, Corporación para la investigacion UFO), the first observation that is well documented have been made in the city of Copiapo in Chile.
* On January 25, 1878, daily newspaper, Denison (United States) said that a local farmer, John Martin, said he saw a large dark circular object resembling a balloon flight is moving "at wonderful speed.
* On November 17, 1882, the astronomer EW Maunder of the Royal Greenwich Observatory, in a report described "a strange celestial visitor" disk shaped "or" spindle ". Years later, Maunder said that was not unlike a lot of the new Zeppelin airship. The strange object was also seen by several other European astronomers.
* On February 28, 1904, three members of the crew of a cargo of supplies to the U.S. Navy made an observation which reported their lieutenant (Frank Schofield, later to become the Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet) about 500 kilometers west of San Francisco. Schofield says three circular objects and ovoid, bright red, flying in a training level, approaching in the cloud layer, then change direction and rise high above the clouds to move away permanently Earth, 2 or 3 minutes later. The biggest was the apparent size "of about six suns.
* On the air theaters of war in Europe and Japan during World War II, allied pilots such as Axis report foo fighters (balls of light that follow planes).
* On February 25, 1942, an unidentified aircraft was detected above Los Angeles in California. The object remains fearless in the sky despite 20 minutes of sustained fire from antiaircraft batteries (AAA). The incident was later to take the name of "Battle of Los Angeles .
* In 1946, there were over 2,000 reports of unidentified aircraft in the Scandinavian countries but also in France, Portugal, Italy and Greece initially designated as the "Russian hail," they are more later known as "ghost rockets" (in English ghost rockets) because we think we see in these mysterious objects tests Russian rocket V1 or V2 taken from the Germans. This interpretation would later be disproved, but the phenomenon remains unexplained. Over 200 appearances observed on radar, were considered suitable for "real physical objects" by the Swedish military. A significant fraction of the remainder was attributed to misidentification of natural phenomena such as meteors.

Appearance of flying saucers
After the Second World War, the UFO phenomenon affects the general public following the testimony of a publicized American businessman Kenneth Arnold on June 24, 1947. This is the story of the phenomenon he observed while flying his private plane near Mount Rainier in Washington state. He reported seeing nine objects flying saucer very bright and very fast he could not identify, flying Mount Rainier to Mount Adams. He estimated their length between 12 and 15 meters and their speed to at least 1800 km / h. They were flying, says Arnold, "like geese, forming a diagonal line as if they were attached to each other in a hopping motion, similar to a saucer of water splashing onto the. Arnold would later clarify that he had seen UFOs looked like flying saucers ("flying saucers") and large flat disks (flat disks). This testimony, if it is to be the laughingstock of the media and the public, however, knowing that the term "flying saucer".

This case is quickly followed by thousands of witnesses, especially the U.S., but also in other countries.

An important example is that of a flight crew of United Airlines, which reported that nine disc-shaped objects were escorted to their plane over Idaho on the evening of July 4. This account receives a larger media and is considered more credible than that of Arnold. The following days, most newspaper front pages tell stories of flying saucers.

On July 3, 1947, takes place what would become known worldwide as the Roswell incident. That day, Mac Brazel, a rancher near Roswell, found debris on his land and warns the nearest military base. A young member of the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) is the first time a press release where he announced that the army has found a "flying saucer" crushed a ranch near Roswell, sparking a strong interest in media. Kenneth Arnold's observation took place nine days earlier and had an important echo in the press so that flying saucers were present in all minds, including in the military. The next day, the general command of the base publishes a correction stating that the flying saucer was only a weather balloon. A press conference is organized in the aftermath, revealing to reporters the debris from the objects found, confirming the thesis of the balloon. The case falls into oblivion for thirty years, marking the end of the first great wave of UFOs in the United States.

In 1978, Major Jesse Marcel, who took part in the recovery of debris in Roswell in 1947, said on television that they were definitely of extraterrestrial origin and that the debris that General Ramey (responsible for the database) was shown to journalists are not those that Marcel has made to Roswell which he said were unidentified metal and included some characters in an unknown hand. He expressed his belief that the military had in fact concealed the discovery of a spacecraft to ufologist Stanton T. Friedman. His story circulated among fans of UFOs and UFO magazines. In February 1980, the National Enquirer led his own interview with Major Marcel, triggering the re-coverage of the Roswell incident. Additional witnesses and reports emerged from the shadows over time adding new details to the story. For example, a major military operation would have taken place at the time, to retrieve pieces of wreckage, or aliens, on no fewer than 11 sites or evidence of intimidation of witnesses. In 1989, a funeral director to retire, Glenn Dennis, claims that alien autopsies have been performed in the Roswell base. In 1991, General Du Bose, Chief of Staff General Ramey in 1947, confirms that the latter had replaced the debris passed through the base of Roswell those of a weather balloon, shown to journalists. In response to these developments, and after an investigation by the U.S. Congress, the GAO (Government Accountability Office, the watchdog organization belonging to the Congress) asked the United States Air Force to conduct an internal investigation. The result of this investigation is summarized in two reports. The first, published in 1995, concluded that the debris found in 1947 came many a secret government program called Project Mogul. The second, published in 1997, concluded that the evidence regarding the recovery of alien bodies were likely diverted from reports of accidents involving military wounded and dead, or the recovery of anthropomorphic dummies in military programs such as Operation High Dive, conducted around 1950. The report nevertheless indicates that the debate on what is actually fell at Roswell continues, but said that all administrative records from the database for the period March 1945-December 1949 have been destroyed and all the radio messages sent by the base 'October 1946 to February 1949. The schedule of destruction does not mention when, by whom and on whose orders the destruction was carried out. These reports were dismissed by supporters of the extraterrestrial theory, screaming at disinformation, although a significant number of ufologists agree then on a decreased likelihood that extraterrestrial spacecraft is truly involved.

UFO over the airport in China

The Yeti

The Yeti
Abominable Snowman, Yeti in the north-east of Nepal (the word means "magical creature"), or Migou Migo ( "Wild Man") in the Himalayas or Gang-Mi ( "Man of glaciers"), all Himalayan Sherpas have heard of him. Some have even noticed. They say it can kill a yak with a single punch. Its origin is lost in the mists of time, but it is undeniable that the Yeti has always been present in the beliefs of Tibet.


Many expeditions have attempted to locate or even capture it, but in vain. It is a poem written in the fourth century BC, Rama and Sita, which mentions for the first time, the Yeti. The first known visual evidence dates from 1832, but JB Fraser Explorer mentioned evidence of a strange animal from 1820. The first discovery, immortalized by a photograph, date of 1921, photograph by Colonel Howard-Bury, renowned mountaineer on the slopes of the roof of the world, Mount Everest. The sherpas (carriers) of the expedition, declared that they were traces of Metch-Kangmi a monster living in the mountains. Metch-Kangmi is one name that designates the Yeti. Metch meaning disgusting, Kang snow and half man. The "repugnant Snowman" was born, the news spread around the world. In 1925, the District of Sikkim, Mr. Tombazi, a Greek photographer, member of a British geological expedition, had seen a man-sized creature, entirely covered with hair, with a conical skull and walking through the rhododendron . Going to the place where he saw the creature, Tombazi found many footprints. Back in the village, which served as base camp, Tombazi told the villagers who told him he had seen the devil Kanchenjunga. It is said that in 1938, Captain Auvergue, who had lost in a snowstorm, was rescued and sheltered by a Yeti until he could return home. In 1951, Eric Shipton discovering and photographing the traces on the glacier Menlung located between Tibet and Nepal to more than 6,000 meters above sea level. The tracks measured 33 to 45 cm and appeared to have made a few minutes earlier. In 1955, Abbe Bordet did, too, the same discovery. All these traces are appears "to be a detail the strange: the Yeti would have only four fingers. Another hypothesis is that two of his toes are so close, they do not differ in the footprints. In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary, first man to climb Mount Everest, discovered in the monastery of Khumjung Gompa, a Yeti scalp preserved as a sacred relic. The scalp over 300 years old, has a circumference of 65 centimeters.

In 1957, an expedition led and financed by Tom Slick, aimed to demonstrate the existence of an unknown primate colony. Droppings were found and their analysis has revealed even more disturbing facts and unexplained. Three intestinal parasites are unknown hairs were also analyzed and the results are close analysis of Bigfoot hairs: hairs of a large primate, species unknown. In the case of the Yeti, a clarification was made: red monkey, close to the orang-utan to be without. In 1961 the Tibetan government acknowledges' t officially the existence of the Yeti, the point of making their national symbol. In 1970, Don Whillans leading an expedition on the south face of Annapurna, and discovered numerous traces of Yeti. Don Whillans took his glasses and swept the region. He was amazed, climbing wall, a creature of humano • Large covered with dark fur. It could be seen walking on ledges for thirty minutes, then arrived on a tray, the creature disappeared into a forest. Whillans learned later that the valley in which he had seen the Yeti was called "the valley of the great ape." In 1974, a young Sherpa came face to face with a Yeti. She screamed, panicking the beast killed yaks 2 before fleeing. They found numerous traces of steps on site.

As and when the evidence and findings, it appears that there are several kinds, breeds or species of Yeti. In Nepal, live the Great Yeti, a vegetarian, but can become omnivorous in case of lack of food. In the same area, there are also Rakshi-Bompo, smaller than the Yeti, but much more aggressive and carnivorous. According to geographical areas, the Yeti may also be called Bang,Bangjakri,Ban Vanas, and Van Manas.


The excellent website "Virtual Institute of Cryptozoology (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cryptozoo/vedettes/abominab.html), tells us:" The record of the Himalayan Snowman is quite complex because it based on three distinct types of primates, whose range overlaps sometimes: a being of modest size, the "small yeti" (see his sketch below), which is certainly the most famous and lives mainly in Nepal, Sikkim and northern India; be a very large (over two meters), the "big yeti", reported mainly in southern China (Yeren), Indo-China and Indo - Malaysia, which is probably related to Gigantopithecus finally a real wild man, undoubtedly belonging to the genus Homo, whose range is much greater, since it covers much of Asia from the Caucasus up to Indochina, and in particular includes the Pamirs, the Indu Kush, Kashmir, Alta • (Mongolia), Tibet, etc.. "Indeed, there are three species of Yetis. - The Nyalmot, 4.50 meters high - the Rimi, 2.50 meters - The Bombo, 1.50 meters. These three varieties have in common, namely, red hair, a phenomenal force, a foul odor and some can "roar", but in most cases, these are strident cries were heard.

As we have already said, the Yeti appears to have few commonalities with Bigfoot. There is also this type of animal / human in Russia, specifically in the Caucasus. Two renowned scientists, the Russian historian Boris Porshnev and Professor Rinchen, Mongolia, conducted extensive research in this area. They met farmers witnessed encounters with Yetis. Scientists themselves, were able to observe a few specimens. In the nineteenth century, Colonel Nikolai Prsvalsky during an exploration of Mongolia and the Gobi Desert have reported several of the creatures walking on two legs like men, smaller than humans. The affair was hushed up by the imperial government. The inhabitants of this region call these creatures the Almas. • In Azerb djan, forests are populated Abanauyus, men of forests, and those of Kazakhstan Kiik Adam. In both cases, we find creatures with many commonalities with the Yeti or Bigfoot. In Siberia, peasants say that Chuchunaas, sort of cavemen two meters tall, stole their food supplies.


We believe that Yetis are a variety of prehistoric men who had not advanced. If so, how is their large size? The men of that time was rather small, some scientists espouse the theory of a colony of Gigantopithecus. The ape Gigantopithecus, lived on our planet from -1.8 million years -10,000 years. He looked like a gorilla, but its size, four feet, exceeded that of modern man. He lived in Southeast Asia and China. It was discovered by Professor Gustav von Koenigswald, who bought a stall in a Chinese fossil tooth from an unknown species of so-called dragon. There are still photos and casts of footprints of a bipedal creature larger than a man. One can notice the similarities between the Yeti and the North American Bigfoot. In comparing the testimonies, one might think that this is an animal (or man) of the same species. The best scientific skeptics attribute the traces to other animals such as bears, snow leopards or even rocks that have "bounced," leaving this place a mark resembling a giant human foot can easily see that even the skeptics are hardly convincing. There is something that lives in forests of the Tibetan highlands.


All these stories from different countries and continents leaves the pride of the legends of men of the woods or wild men. But like all legends have some truth, we may be led to wonder if we, humans, know every corner of our planet and all its secrets. Despite all its legends and its mysteries, we must not forget that Tibet is a province of China and isolating the rest of the world, this country suffers.

Vampires and AIDS

Vampires and AIDS
Vampires have always been ignored but they are concerned and affected by the AIDS epidemic that hit the planet. The number of vampires in the United States has decreased dramatically. Alan Crawford, Professor of Comparative Religion at the University of Berkeley, said:

"It is increasingly dangerous to drink the blood of anyone. The hospitals are now equipped with devices to detect the virus before transfusion, drug users can get to clean needles, condoms allows safe sex but nothing has been done to that vampires can eat and absorb blood without risk of catching the AIDS virus.

Mary Sanger is a vampire living in Southern California. She contracted the virus, four years ago, biting a young man who chooses to remain anonymous. It is one of the first vampires to break the silence and finally talk about the difficulties of being a vampire in the years AIDS.


"Firstly I refuse the name of a vampire who has a pejorative connotation. I prefer the term "death differently." The problem of AIDS has been ignored by conservative politicians who see in his victims that unwanted people in our society: homosexuals, drug addicts, prostitutes. For vampires is ten times worse. According to Pat Robertson, Conservative MP, "vampires must be resigned to die." We can not accept this kind of talk. This is racial discrimination. This discrimination is also found among the victims of this scourge. Indeed, at conventions, conferences, television, vampires are never shown or even mentioned. The only reason is that we make them afraid, like the plague. But what are they afraid? we communicate to them the virus? "

The cause of the spread of AIDS among the community of the undead, is that most people are unaware they are infected vampires. They often attribute symptoms to stress or their favorite hallucinogen. Experts say the major symptoms are nausea, loss of appetite, decreased feelings of violence, moody, complex towards his pale complexion. If you think being a vampire infected with HIV, please visit. You must contact the Carnegie Foundation for the undead 1430 Sunset Drive, Modesto, CA 90210 USA.

We met with Dr. Richard Hedd, one of the most imminent doctors can treat vampires, and have asked him a few questions:


- If I contracted the AIDS virus while I am alive and I became a vampire thereafter, will I become a Vampire HIV?

No, a person with HIV or ill before his "transformation" into a vampire, will not be infected in its second life. But a vampire who bites a healthy living person infected with the virus, or a vampire having sex with another vampire risk of contracting the disease.

- Using a condom during the bite can it be effective protection?

Not really. Abstinence is the best way to protect themselves from viruses. The problem is that vampires without regular consumption of blood, they die.

- Lately, I felt a burning sensation from eating garlic. Does this mean that I am a vampire?

Not necessarily. You can just be a vampire hypochondriac. I saw different cases where patients have imagined symptoms of undead.

We often hear that AIDS is a punishment from God to rid the world of fishing. AIDS vampires can be a perfect example of this theory?

My professional opinion is that God created AIDS to punish fishermen who had sex with monkeys and its proliferation among the general public, including vampires, is an unfortunate accident.

The goat Also with the Condom
The condom evidently only was not used by humankind to prevent pregnancy. The Maasai breeders in Kenya also used him to control the number of his goat populations in order to stay surviving when the drought struck.

Of course not the normal condom was sold in the medicine shop and the supermarket. His function also was different because this contraception implement really prevented the male goat carrying out penetration to the opponent of his kind.

Basically this implement had the form resembled old contraception that was mentioned olor. This implement was made from the sheet of animal skin or plastic that was enough to close the stomach circle from the neck to the back leg. "That resembled clothes to cook," said Ole Ngosi Kipameto, one of the owners of cattle from the Kajiado district, around 80 kilometre from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. This sheet was covered to the underside stomach and was tied used the mine rope or the plastic rope.

This method could be considered to be effective. Because, uptil now the breeders must separate the male and female goat. This matter did not only need a long time but also the cost and the power were bigger. "If they were pregnant during the dry condition like at this time, his mother will be exhausted and could not increase his child adequately," said Kipameto. The use olor quite only for 3 months during the hot season. When rain began to arrive in November, this condom was then released. The goat then again was free to be married.

"And Obelix, while a cohort défonçant Roman responds red with anger:" No Môssieur!". Later, he criera the same thing when the legionnaire, terraced by beatings, soupirera: "So this was not the bulk of tr ... ? "Without finishing his sentence. In the same episode, when the new legionnaires must take place, the guard said there are three sizes small, medium and large. " With tranquillity, Obelix takes an average size, Asterix told him not to be stupid, Obelix rétorquant, while blowing his chest, "What, What is my size" ...

Obelix and the magic potion
As explained in the album How Obelix Fell into the Magic Potion When he was a Little Boy, Asterix had been discreetly introduced Obelix in the hut Panoramix and had ingested a whole pot of potion, as others laughed at him. Since then, the effects are permanent home. Panoramix still refuses to give the potion to Obelix because the results would be dangerous, given qu'Obélix is still under the influence of the potion. Instead of explaining clearly, Druid said simply that usual because it is "fell into the pot when he was small." There are exceptions, however:

* In the album Asterix and Cleopatra, he is a prisoner with Asterix and Panoramix in a pyramid. To help force a wall, Panoramix authorizes him to drink three drops of potion. Its strength is then further increased tenfold for a few seconds, enabling him to break the wall with ease;

Contrepeterie

(Jrt)

Contrepeterie
The contrepeterie (sometimes called antistrophe) is a pun which is to swap some phonemes or certain syllables of a sentence, to get a new sentence, often with a comical sense, even grivois. You can also say that this is "the art of sounds that shift debit our mouth", the definition itself containing two contrepèteries.

Example: "My uncle loses courage to clusters of patent" becomes a rotational p and m, "My uncle loses courage to bait my aunt.

The newspaper Le Canard enchaîné is famous for his weekly contrepèteries selection in the section entitled On Album of the Countess created by Yvan Audouard, taken by Henri Monier, Luc Etienne (who was Regent of the College Astropétique 'Pataphysics) then taken over by Joel Martin.

It is customary that never gives a solution contrepèterie everyone to find itself. Doing it as the beginning of this paragraph would be incorporated a very serious lack of taste. It is said you have to be three to enjoy a contrepèterie: one that stated, one who understands it, and whoever does not understand.

Additionally, correspondence sounds must be strict, there can be no question of saying: "The Minister of Finance decreed all reductions feasible."

Sixteenth century
Who could have been the origin of such a process if it is shown François Rabelais? Thus in 1532 appeared with his Pantagruel first two examples of the genre: the famous "mad woman to Mass" and equivocation on "Beaumont-le-Vicomte".

Forty years later, the Burgundian Stephen Tabourot, Mr. Accords, publishes Bigarrures and keys, the first book containing an article dealing exclusively with the subject. It includes the first reference to the term "contrepéterie" previously designated by the designations "antistrophe" or "equivocation"

Twentieth century
We can not find a trace referring to the written contrepet for several centuries until the release of confidential Treasury equivocal, antistrophes and contrepéteries of Jacques Oncial in 1909, the first treaty to be fully devoted; oral tradition has enabled this art d 'reach us, for our greatest happiness! These include the publication in 1924 of PTO, a collection of jokes identified by J.-W. Bienstock and Curnonsky whose trade-offs edition includes an additional chapter entitled "Le Petit Thursday badin of contrepetteries," identifying a few dozen contrepèteries.

It seems that in 1934 one of the pillars of literature contrapétique: Contrepèteries of La Redoute. Louis Perceau are compiled and sorted hundreds of contrepèteries succulent from oral tradition as well as its own composition. It is in this book that you can find many classics such as "The noodles cook the cane juice," which opens the way to fanfare. In 1951, the weekly Le Canard enchaîné actively contributes to the popularity of the contrepèterie through Henri Monier who created the first - and so far only - category specifically devoted to it: On the Album of the Countess. A few years later one of the secretaries of the Countess publishes the second major work such as: "The art of contrepet" Luc Etienne in 1957, whose subtitle is "Little Treaty to use to resolve Amateurs the proposed Contrepèteries and invent new ". In addition to introducing the term "contrepet," this book really give him his letters of nobility by proposing a methodical study and relevant, in addition to numerous examples including the famous novel "I leave you in choosing the date."

The contrepeterie in literary history
* François Rabelais, is said to be the inventor of the process:
o "Panurge disoit there was a mad woman antistrophe between the Mass and the woman soft buttock. "
o "Beaumont-le-Vicomte"

* Tabourot Estienne (1547-1590):
o "All the girls doubt their foy. "
o "Taste me this farce! "
o "The black me fuyt"
o "This woman is a lieuse of thistles. "

* Victor Hugo:
o "I made the hunchback cocu, I made the beautiful cul cosy. "Moreover, went to posterity examples (supposed) involuntary, of its own, such as:
o "The defeat of his heart."

* Closer to home, Benjamin Péret published a book in 1928:
o "The rust encagees."

* Boris Vian:
o "the painter gives opinions on the bare"
o "Colin [...] tailla to bevel the corner of his eyelids mates. "

* Robert Desnos wrote a number in the section on Rrose Sélavy gathering Corps and property, often giving solution:
o "In a temple stucco pastor of apple juice distillait psalms. "
o "Rrose Sélavy familiar with the merchant salt"

The first collection of contrepèteries is the rare "Treasury equivocal, antistrophes and contrepéteries" Jacques Oncial, published in 1909 by some 300 copies. Then in 1934 "La Redoute of contrepèteries" Louis Perceau which lists hundreds, many times from a work by Jacques Oncial. "On the Album of the Countess," set up after the war in Le Canard enchaîné, has also played an important role in the dissemination of this art to shift the sounds. He published a poem a day which presented two levels of reading. Here is the first quatrain:

"The tribute to their environment than poets
A woman always disappointed offer ardent
Flatte certainly the goal but n'apaise the quest:
The wait has pleasures that we do a moment."

The contrepeterie on Radio London
Radio London, sent the resistance messages, various sentences, meaning agreed.

Colonel Remy, eminent personality of Free France, says that before choosing such coded phrases to read on Radio London to warn the Resistance, he found himself being with his friends in possession of La Redoute contrepeteries.

They had the idea to use this book. And they were a joy when they heard the charming speakerine of the British radio read carefully neutral tone and diction perfect sentences, albeit within the meaning coded agreed, but that would have been ashamed if she had known what they could mean as contrepeteries.

It must be said that they did not have many opportunities to distract. The contrepèterie came to their aid in these difficult times.


Some contrepeteries
It is noted that often, contrepeteries allude to sex. The word is not survive the rest in french than in contrepeteries and songs paillardes. An example of contrepèterie without grivoiserie is the slogan of the time of the Occupation: "You should not say but Petain Metropolitan mollit too" case of a slogan, the solution was given. Similarly, opponents of the movement of Colonel de La Rocque "Cross-Fire" were soon to call the members of this party "Cold Queues."

Joel Martin has nevertheless written several chapters of contrepeteries "fair" in its "Bible contrepet." Others are circulating on the Internet, such as "Bring the pork."

Some names are a contrepeterie:

* Thierry d'Argenlieu
* Madame Vigee-Lebrun.
* High School Ampere (school in Lyon)
* Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris
* Jules Verne
* Alphonse de Lamartine
* De Gaulle
* Jean-Marie Le Pen (definition of Jean Cocteau)
* The rap group NTM
* Paul Piche

See trademark, advertising slogans:

* Mammoth crushes prices (Coluche)
* We live Auchan
* The effect Kiss Cool
* The Pie who sings
* The cow who laughs
* The Bank Address (without taboo words, contrary to "pull Lacoste")

Magazines:

* We will Two (review novels photos rose water)
* Le Matin de Paris
* After the election of Jacques Peyrat for mayor of Nice, a famous regional daily titra this double contrepeterie:

Peyrat Nice: After doubt, joy

Films:

* Conan the Barbarian
* The hill boots (western with Terence Hill)

The benign expression:

* Fred Hi!
* Patrick Hi!
* The choice in the date.
* Les Copains Hi!

And finally two contrepeteries that the French report with ridicule as being of Belgian origin, in reference to the supposed innocence of their neighbours:

* It is nice and warm.
* Tough.

Louis Perceau
Louis Perceau once wrote a reference book on the genre: "Contrepeteries of La Redoute." "You've read Perceau" is a phrase we like to say between insiders.

Luc Etienne
Comtesse du Canard for twenty-seven years. Luc Etienne became a specialist of this art, while admitting having read Perceau. He has written among other works ( "The method Mimile", "The Art of drawers charade") an "Art of contrepet" which is still reference today, and which contains passages quite worked as speech a tenant containing the following sentences:

"She was afraid of my word window:
Janitors do not like to be awakened abruptly.
But she insisted aspire my term,
I laissai work my bile and felt hated me.
A kind of rage I took the place of verve "

It ends with:

"She told me:" After this marc, should be a good dinette. "
I felt then greed janitors. "

It also gives advice: just as the charm of crosswords is to give definitions not trivial, we must once contrepet found him find a short introduction also appropriate for the innocent phrase basis that at its option sulphurous. Thus, the words "dogfish" and "bread", following the introduction only makes it more tasty contrepeterie:

"But I is not fishing, Mr. priest! J'agace the bats with my pieces of bread. "

And on "slumped" and "bazaar", what's more pleasing that these five words of introduction? :

"Exhausted by a long tail, the poor woman s'affale before the bazaar."

Jacques Antel
True disciple of Luc Etienne, Jacques Antel regent is the chair of contrepet College 'Pataphysics since April 20, 2000. He is the author of the classic "All my believed" with more than 500 contrepèteries novel (with the notable exception of those constituting the title). His specialty was hunting contrepèteries involuntary, as in his books' titles filled "and" Those whom the muse lives "respectively addressing the journalistic articles and French literature.

Joel Martin
Successor Luc Etienne under Comtesse du Canard, Joel Martin is the author of numerous publications all over contrepétillantes some than others, including "The bible of contrepet", "The Dictionary of the contrepèterie" and, more recently, a "What I know" about the contrepeterie.

Laurent Gerra & Jean-Jacques Peroni
During chronic satirical broadcast, (among other Grand Juron during the presidential campaign of 2007), Laurent Gerra imitator humorist and his co-author Jean-Jacques Peroni routinely use the contrepeterie most often placed in the mouth of politicians whose practice essay on calembredaine grivoise adds to the comic effect. The most famous are made by the inventor of the Feast of music, ex-Minister of Culture Socialist Jack Lang, "the muse Me" or "everyone who thinks the left and laughing," and by the Academician, former president Valery Giscard d'Estaing, "Africa is a good hostess" or "the tip of the globe called zan". Another pronounced with the voice of Jacques Chirac is "Tulle, Correze" (which refers to certain practices involving Maurice Thorez). Contrepèteries Note that these are not new, they had already been published by one of contrepétomanes cited above.

Armelle Finard
Armelle Finard is the author of several collections of contrepeteries in recent years. Joel Martin wondered, in relation to one of his books, "if the publisher bêle before Armande" or "if Finard has a big payroll"

Contrepeterie British spoonerism
The spoonerism is not as systematically grivois that is the contrepeterie French. Several spoonerisms are in the works of Shakespeare.

"The difference between a girl in a church and a girl in a bath that is the first one has a soul full of hope."

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy."

The word spoonerism comes from Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844-1930) which was often, voluntarily or not, in his sermons.

"Those girls have a cunning array of stunts."

Even the cartoons are no exception.

The Flintstones

(Jrt)

The Flintstones
The Flintstones (The Flinstones) is an animated television series American 166 episodes of 25 minutes, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and broadcast between September 30, 1960 and 1 April 1966 on the ABC network. In France, the series was broadcast on Antenne 2 and then on Cartoon Network. In Quebec, the series was broadcast by Radio-Canada, Take 2 and TQS.

Synopsis
Everything happens in the Stone Age in a town called Bedrock (Caillouville in France and St. Granite Quebec), but where the company is exactly the same as that of the USA in the second half of the twentieth century. It is a fanciful version of prehistory where dinosaurs, ptérodactyles, tigers sabre-toothed, woolly mammoths and other animals disappeared long coexist with men in caves, which employ a technology similar to the twentieth century, using mainly of various animals as tools. The characters drive cars made of stone or wood and skins of animals, and operated by gasoline, although need to use his feet to put them on the way. The characters were beautiful fall theoretically the Stone Age, this has not prevented its creators to produce an episode for Christmas not only in the original series but also for the decades that followed.

Comments
This series, very freely adapted from the The Honeymooners, was aired in early evening and was a huge success.

One source of humor in this series is to use animals as objects of technology. For example, when people take pictures with an instant camera, inside the camera is a bird that burns the image on a stone tablet. Another instrument generally seen in the series is the baby woolly mammoth with the tube is used as a vacuum cleaner. The planes, in the case of travel Hollyrock for example, parody of Hollywood, are represented as ptérodactyles.

The story takes place at the Stone Age, several names of characters refer to the rocks: Fred Flintstone (Fred Flintstones in France and Fred Caillou in Quebec), Barney Rubble (Barney Laroche in France, Arthur Laroche in Quebec). There are also names of celebrities as amended Gary Granite, Stony Curtis and Ann-Margrock

The series draws its characters directly from the series The Honeymooners: Fred Flintstones, the husband and his turbulent gentle and quiet wife Délima Flintstones modeled Kramdens of the family and their neighbors and friends Arthur Laroche and Bertha Laroche modeled on the family Nortons. Later appear Agathe Flintstones, daughter of Fred and Délima and thump-thump Laroche, adopted son of Barney and Bertha. The Flintstones have a small domestic dinosaur named Dino who acts like a dog and Laroche have a kind of kangaroo named Hoppy. Fred Flintstones work in a quarry rocks, career Miroc for different patterns which, the best known, Mr. Miroc.

In the 1970's, this series has given birth to a spin-off series entitled Les Petits Flintstones (The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show). It was also adapted in the form of comic books by Archie Comics.

Dubbing
The dubbing is in Quebec has contributed greatly to the success of the series in French-speaking North America. There are well-known members of the colony Quebec artists of the time including Paul Berval (Fred Caillou), Denise Proulx (Délima Caillou), Claude Michaud (Arthur Laroche), Monique Miller (Bertha Laroche) and Benoît Marleau (Dino) in the main roles. Several other artists are remarkable and notable appearances as Jean Besré (Charlot), Luc Durand (Joe Head-Pierre), Béatrice Picard (mother of Délima), Janine Sutto (grandmother Lance-Roche) and Serge Turgeon ( Grand Boubou). Unlike the majority of Quebec shields, the international french accent, which some describe as colonized, is replaced by a Quebec accent typically filled with local cultural references. This bias language, often scorned by purists in the world of dubbing Quebec, has been key to success more than once. One need only think of the dubbing of the animated series The Simpsons or even popular films such as Slap Shot (Start-Struck) or Flodder (Lavigueur move), which have become real success locally.

The version of the series aired from 1993 to 1995 on the satellite channel Cartoon Network took the dubbing famous - with the added bonus, the song of generic french - unlike the earlier episodes aired in France, which had adopted a dubbing french de France with major actors dubbing the moment that have often found in the shields of Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the era: Fred Flintstones was sung with gusto by Roger Carel (Mr Cosmos of the Jetsons, Asterix, C3PO), Barney Laroche by Gerard Hernandez (Grand smurf, Smurf grognon, Iznogoud, Pirlouit, Jack Dalton), Wilma Flintstones by Evelyne Grandjean (Arale, Jane Jetsons) and Betty Laroche by Laurence Crouzet (April O'neil, Lucy McBernik, Shina in the knight of the zodiac). Anything small world fit the delight of viewers french during broadcasts of the series in issuing Hanna-Barbera ding-dong of Antenne 2.

The actors Quebec dubbing original resumed service at the dubbing of the film produced by Steven Spielrock "(sic). The dubbed version only occurs on laserdisc NTSC Canadian, and then the DVD Zone 1 (DVD zone 2 french having too inherited a dubbing "local"). For the French version, these are the French equivalent voice actors who were not chosen and the resumption of the cartoon actors (John Goodman [Fred] is doubled by Jacques Frantz and Rick Moranis [Barney] by Luq Hamet, who also been the presenter of the show Hanna-Barbera ding-dong).

Similarly, boxes for six seasons on DVD (4 discs per package), fans of the original version Quebec will opt for the Canadian editions Warner (NTSC zone 1), available only on sites vpc U.S. PAL versions area 2 is also different (Cartoons collection of my childhood). However, there are DVD boxes "completely Anglicized" (with jacket and supplements bonus VF), but rare to find (only seasons 2 and 4 are still available), and full VO (jacket and bonus included), which retains dubbing in Quebec.
