Angry Birds on the Plane

there's a dude sitting besides me on the airplane, playing Angry Birds on iPad. All of a sudden, he shouts: “i've got 2 bombs, go to hell you stupid pigs”. I jumped, and all the passengers wet their pants.

飞机上有个二逼坐我旁边用iPad玩愤怒的小鸟，玩着玩着突然激动地大吼一声：“我有两个炸弹！都他妈死吧蠢猪们！”当时吓了我一大跳…… 那天飞机上的其他乘客也都吓尿了...... (from [2013-07-17 xie107 ] ( https://twitter.com/xie107 ))

Strange Phenomenon in Chinese Microblogs: Images Instead of Text

There's a curious phenomenon in Chinese Weibo (microblog). That is, normally the character limit is to make user's post dense and focused. However, Chinese people started to use image instead for long Chinese articles. The transmission size of a image is a thousand times greater than text, and it can't be searched, nor resized clearly. Strangely, English microblogs such as twitter haven't developed this phenomenon.

中文 Weibo 有个奇妙的现象。本来限制字数，基其让人话简语重。但，用户开始把长篇大轮以图发出。这一下，一张图是文子码数位大小的百倍，又不能搜索，又不能清楚的字体放大。美国英语 Twitter 类比较没有这现象。奥妙。
