AFP / END. El inglés sigue siendo el idioma dominante en Internet.

El español es la cuarta lengua más utilizada en Internet después del inglés, el chino y el japonés, según el informe "La difusión del español en Internet" realizado por la empresa Accenture y publicado por la Fundación Caja Burgos. El responsable de este estudio presentado hoy, Raúl Jiménez, explicó que a pesar de los más de ochenta millones de internautas hispanohablantes existentes, el volumen de contenidos en español es muy inferior al de otros idiomas.

Jiménez destacó que el número de páginas web por usuario hispanohablante es de 0,58, mientras que esta proporción es de 1,47 en el caso del inglés, idioma líder en la red, y de 1,25 y 1,23 en francés y alemán, respectivamente.

España es el tercer país que más internautas hispanohablantes posee, unos 14 millones, detrás de Estados Unidos, con casi 26 millones y México, que ronda los 17 millones. Sin embargo, y según se desprende del estudio, los internautas españoles utilizan más el correo electrónico que los estadounidenses y las páginas visitadas por el 95 por ciento de ellos son las de los buscadores de contenidos.

protesta "desnuda" contra la sociedad "cargada de prejuicios"

Joven provoca revuelo al cruzar desnuda céntrica avenida de Buenos Aires


Foto


BUENOS AIRES/AFP -Una joven provocó un revuelo este jueves cuando bajo el abrasador sol del mediodía porteño se quitó toda la ropa y cruzó sin apuro los casi 100 metros de la céntrica avenida 9 de Julio dejando atónitos a automovilistas y transeúntes de Buenos Aires.

Rodeada de curiosos, entusiastas y decenas de fotógrafos, la veinteañera Paula Brindisi se despojó de todo cuanto llevaba puesto, se acomodó el cabello y emprendió la marcha entre un remolino masculino que la ovacionó a su paso.

"Si alguien me acompaña mejor", dijo e invitó sonriente a alguno de los hombres que la rodeaban a quitarse la ropa para responder a una sociedad "cargada de prejuicios".

Pese a que ninguno aceptó el convite, nadie se privó de seguir de cerca los movimientos del tatuaje en las caderas que la mujer exhibió con audacia a escasos metros del Obelisco, en pleno centro de la capital argentina.

Mientras policías consultaban por radio a sus superiores qué hacer ante la insólita situación, la joven concluyó su periplo, se puso un impermeable negro y abordó un taxi para despedirse en medio de un cerrado aplauso.

The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day.

She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing that he sometimes could be a bit crude. But eventually his turn came.

Little Johnnie walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well the teacher couldn't figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his report on something exciting, so she asked him just what that was.

"It's a period" reported Johnnie.

"Well I can see that" she said. "but what is so exciting about a period."

"Damned if I know" said Johnnie, "but this morning my sister said she missed one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted and the man next door shot himself."

His father thinking quickly said, "Son, that's so God can reach down from the clouds and lift the rooster straight up to heaven."

"Gee Dad that's great," said little Billy. A few days later, when Dad came home from work, Billy rushed out to meet him yelling, "Dad, Dad we almost lost Mom today!"

A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and visa-versa." Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $50!" figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match. This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer: "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the
Airphone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his coworkers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After over an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $50. The blonde politely takes the $50 and turns away to get back to sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what is the answer!?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
