Segundo a Wikipédia, "malky" é um termo escocês que quer dizer "cabeçada" ("headbutt", também conhecido como "Glasgow kiss"). Antigamente tinha o significado mais genérico de "porrada", "tareia", "sova" ("Ye're gannae get the malky").

Mesmo numa paródia óbvia como esta, não se deve menosprezar a enfermidade dos trekkies. Um comentário no YouTube:

"Even if a Starfleet academy WAS opened in Scotland that wouldnt mean only scots would attend. Chekov presumably went to Starfleet Academy in San Franciso.
Plus they have DS9 uniforms, Nemesis and season 3 TNG ones at the same time, and no communicators. Not to mention the collar pip rank pins look like thetre just slapped on with no rhyme or reason.
Very, very poor attention to accuracy. And I cant understand what theyre saying. I know real Scots and they dont talk like that."

Depois de ser naturalmente ridicularizado, prosseguiu:

"[My God, you're a spaz... ] For having a differing opinion. Right. Im sorry you dont like it but the facts back me up therefore my statement is justified. And it wasnt directed at anyone here on a personal level, So there's really no call to insult me simply for stating facts.
If youre going to do something take the care to do it right. Not like there isnt a wealth of Star Trek resources to consult. That's all Im saying."

O presidente do Paquistão conseguiu aquilo que se pensaria impossível: unir fundamentalistas islâmicos e feministas paquistanesas.

"After appearing to endorse Hamas and back Barack Obama's stance on Pakistan in her now infamous interview with Katie Couric, Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has found herself embroiled in another diplomatic row over her meeting with Pakistan's president Asif Ali Zardari.

Zardari's greeting to the Alaskan governor at their meeting at the UN headquarters in New York - described as «overly-friendly» by the Christian Science Monitor - has earned him a fatwa from some of Pakistan's radical Muslims.

Benazir Bhutto's widower tells Alaska's first woman that she is «even more gorgeous in life» and says he can see why «America is crazy about you». But what really got radical clerics backs up was his comment that he might hug the Moose-hunting governor if his aide insists hard enough.

For Palin, the incident appears to have confirmed jokes that her meet-and-greet sessions with world leaders at the UN were «speed dating» diplomacy.

(...)

Meanwhile, Tahira Abdullah, a member of Pakistan's Women's Action Forum, criticised the president for failing to show decorum and behave like a «mourning widower»."

Hello mister, how do you do?
Baabaa baabaa baabaa

Baabuji main cheen se aayi cheenee jaisa dil layi
Singapore ka yauvan mera Shanghai ki angdayi
Dil par rakh le haath zara, ho jaye na paagal tu

Mera naam chin chin chu...

Oh baabuji main aur aap, kitna achchha huwa milaap
Tujhko dekh tabiyat bhadki, Alladin ki main hoon ladki
Phoonk doon mantar chhu chu chu, Sindbad the sailor tu

"Back in an hour or so"

Via 5 Dias.

"In the late 19th century, Europe and the United States, Australia and a handful of other countries struggled towards democracy. Few men had to fight as hard as almost all women for their basic rights to work, to vote, to own property, but perhaps those women who found themselves on the political battleground were the lucky ones. Three quarters of the world's women couldn't even protest against their traditional roles of looking after the home, hut or hovel and raising the family that so often starved and ailed in it.

In 1852, Florence Nightingale had despairingly written: «Women are never supposed to have any occupation of sufficient importance not to be interrupted.» But, in the West at least, women's lives were dramatically changing. By the early 1900s there were 174,000 female shop assistants in Germany, 76,000 female local government officials in Britain, and the invention of the typewriter had led to a 25-fold increase in the number of women clerks in Europe.

Women could now go to university, join sports clubs, smoke in public, travel, and, in middle-class cases, live independently of men. But they couldn't vote. Many of their sex thought they shouldn't. In 1877, Mrs Sutherland Orr declared: «The one fatal result of female emancipation is that... not only the power of love in women, but for either sex... will have passed away.»

Love or politics? Many middle- and upper-class women in Britain and United States chose politics. The women who set fire to churches, chained themselves to the railings of important buildings, slashed famous paintings and smashed shop windows almost all came from 'good' families."
