my cartoons











I thought that this cartoon was very funny because they are poking fun at today´s technology. It is interesting to point out that the "patient" is of a certain age and we can deduce that she is not very familiar with computers so when someone told her that she had a virus, she did not think about the fact that "who" had the virus was the computer and not herself.











This is another funny cartoon about computers but it´s about computers at work. It is basically saying that computers control so much of our world and our work that they are like our bosses instead of actual people with merit to do so. This worker is asking his boss/computer if he can go to lunch. Our world is so work orientated that we believe that computers actually control what we do.



















This was the first cartoon that I saw and it was a true laugh out loud. This shows how greedy lawyers can be. Even an ex laywer on the street will not settle for anything less than millions































Hello there :D

mmmm took me awhile to post my profile.

As you probably know my name is Miguel Silva. I'm currently in FSCH but i was a biology student on FCUL for 2 years. My hobbies consist on digesting books and manga, listen to music and doing nothing :D
I live in a small farm in Penalva which is located near Barreiro, i live there with my grandparents, my parents, two cats, two dogs, some ducks, a pig, a bunch of rabbits and a ton of rats :D

I really got nothing else to say, most of you already know me from last year...mmm...lets see....mmmm.....oh, I'm also learning Japanese, I'm currently in the 4th and final year xD but the other day i found a japanese couple and believe me its a crazy language to learn, i couldn't comprehend them at all, mostly some words here and there hehehe

we need a photo right?
Alright, this is me a couple of years ago without the goatee and the long hair.












And now for something completely irrelevant......
PANDAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!! heheheh cute aren't they?!

My blogins and whatnot.

You were complaining that we didnt post more often, so here I go.
Like I said in the begininng of the classes, I work in a website as a journalist and I have my weekly space.
I use it to rant, talk about funny things, odd things, whatever...

It's called Jogos & Joguinhos and it's fully written in portuguese, so, ask and I shall translate.

Jogos&Joguinhos, I


Jogos&Joguinhos, the sequel

Jogos&Joguinhos, First...second life?

Jogos&Joguinhos, oh the terror of playing!

Jogos&Joguinhos, When there's no more room in hell, the dead shall walk the earth.


Jogos&Joguinhos, Feitos (em cima do joelho) Históricos <- this one stays in portuguese, because translating would ruin it's true meaning.

Jogos&Joguinhos, the Epic.

Jogos&Joguinhos, the lolcats in us

Well, in spite of being fully written in portuguese I wanted some titles to come out in english, because they look cooler!
But oh well, the editor-chief is the boss and I'll obey.
Why do I write these? I like to think that by writing in a sucessfull videogame website, someone might notice me and grant me a good future, and, by the way, the articles are not all about videogames, there's poetry, history, cats and a Edgar Allan Poe special.
