Chuck Norris meme

Last class Estelle Yannick and Tasnime talked about internet memes, and the "chuck norris facts" were given as an example.

We wondered how Chuck Norris reacted to this unwanted image.

Looks like he made profit of it eventually :

Read all about it!

TED Blog: TED's Open Translation Project brings subtitles in 40 languages to TED.com:

"'TED’s mission is to spread good thinking globally, and so it’s high time we began reaching out to the 4.5 billion people on the planet who don't speak English,' says TED Curator Chris Anderson. “We’re excited to be using a bottom-up, open-source approach that will in time allow all our talks to be translated into all the world’s languages. A web-empowered revolution in global education is under way. We’re not far from the day when anyone on Earth can directly access the world’s great teachers speaking to them in their own language. How cool is that?'"

cool! ... do you agree? How about leaving a comment?
