Greek signs

Time for a break: here is a small collection of funny signs from Greece. I have collected them from the Internet.


More signs here.

    Another representing sample of Greek signs…

    The most surreal question ever made in Greek TV: Can you see Jesus in cod?


    At the grocery store: Do not punch. They do not honk. Try.

    Frappe in the grill...Note: frappe = cold coffee

    On sale…

    I don't really understand what's funny with the dog sign. It gives really good advice...

    It's the owner's machismo thing that's funny. Also, if it's true what the sign says, by the time you've finished reading their instructions you'll be dog meat. Finally, it's `funny' that some people think it's their right to impose the(ir) law on their own.

    Thanks for the answer. I saw a completely different thing in the photo. I saw a doorway to a private property, with a sign that informs people that there is a dog inside and they should not try to enter uninvited (entering uninvited into a fenced private property is at least bad manners...). I also saw some very considerate owners who don't want to have any accidents with people who are too curious to see what's inside and give advice as to how to handle the dog. And finally, the dog is inside and the instructions are facing outside, so you won't be dog meat just by reading them. Even if you enter the property, you have a really good chance to exit in one piece if you do as the sign told you.

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line
