People, tell me what’s up with Luca Toni? These days I get more hits by people looking for him than I do by people looking for Christian Bale or Ryan Reynolds. Which is a pretty new development.
And anyway, how come I get most hits for (pictures of) the hot guys? I write about so many things… like this:
“was paul dano in tropic thunder on the p”?
On the p-what, I don’t know, but it doesn’t really matter: I’m pretty sure that the answer to all the questions that could come from this beginning is no. As far as I know, Paul Dano had nothing to do with Tropic Thunder at all.
“how do you say quantum of solace in span[ish]”?
Seems like it goes untranslated in Spanish, but it depends on where you live. What it means is “cuanto de consolación”. [And I translated this with a dictionary, I don’t speak Spanish. I’m not responsible for any mistakes. :)]
But I tell you, be happy about that. In German, they translated it to “Ein Quantum Trost”, notwithstanding that in German, the word Quantum doesn’t actually exist. [If you want to translate it scientifically, it would be Quant and if you want to translate it for the meaning, the best version would have been Quäntchen, imo.]
Translations suck.

I never really understood what the name was supposed to mean, anyway.What does Quant mean, exactly, in German?
From the two of us, aren’t you the geek? :P
Wikipedia says:
In layman terms, I would say it means “a little bit”.
:) I guess so. For the record, I know(knew) what a quantum means, at least as far as physics(and chemistry too, I guess) is concerned. Just didn’t know if you were getting at the same thing, seeing as “quantum of solace” is just weird, for a name.
:)
True, it is a weird title. But it also makes sense, if you take the not-scientifical meaning. It’s “A Little Bit of Solace” and that kind of makes sense.
