Updated on May 7th, 2020    Are you looking for some good alternatives to the lost gigapedia, library.nu , legalreads.com , coinread.com,  bookos.org or libgen.info ? Well, here is a list that I update quite often and whenever you (yes, you !) give me new entries (also anonymously in the comments below). PLEASE do not ask me to download something for you! IMPORTANT Currently, many of you reach this page searching words like " en.bookfi.org alternatives", "library.nu alternatives" or "ebookoid", well I am not sure this will be the case in the near future... :( Due to the new guidelines against piracy , in the future, this post MAY NOT be listed among the search results you'll get from Google and/or  Bing.

Where to get research papers for free

Last update  April, 8th, 2018 After the post about ebooks , I have thought you may be interested on academic papers too and here I am! :) THANKS for your contributions to this post! On the subject education, there is also a new post about the free university courses you can attend online, for free!!!

Ted Mosby, Klaus and the funny use of the German language!

I have just watched the first episode of How I Met Your Mother Season 8. I found it very good, it is the essence of the whole series, i.e. the Ted's quest of the true Love! Anyway the speech between Ted & Klaus is simply delightful :) In this post you will see, the video of this scene, a transcription of the dialog (from www.opensubtitle.org and myself) and an explanation of these very long words (contribution of the first reviewer of this post! ... and I thank all the other reviewers too). Enjoy! [The song is "Funeral" by the "Band of Horses", here is the youtube link]   ______________________________________________________________ Ted: Uh, excuse me. Klaus: Oh, hey, it's you. Ja okay, I'm not sure what kind of vibe I was giving off before, but I am not interested in your schnitzel, okay? Ted: No, no, no, no, no-- God, no. I-I just have one quick question: Victoria seems like a great girl. Why wouldn't you want to mar...
