There are absurdities in the translation that are very funny, but will be far from obvious to some readers. I should have thought about this, and at least acknowledged it up front - sorry! And please, don't add the points of view here to your nanotechnology education - you could find your future nanotech career prospects rather smaller than they started out :-) Hi nanotürkiye,

my apologies – this is a humor that probably doesn’t translate well beyond communities with English as their primary language. There are absurdities in the translation that are very funny, but will be far from obvious to some readers. I should have thought about this, and at least acknowledged it up front – sorry!

And please, don’t add the points of view here to your nanotechnology education – you could find your future nanotech career prospects rather smaller than they started out :-)

Learning new point of views to nanotechnology is important. :) Unfortunately I could not understand all humors, but anyway thank you for sharing the blog post.

I'm having visions of you, Mr. Harper, and Dr. Kulinowski demonstrating the public nanotech hustle in a video to be posted on all YouTube. You think the Nano Song was a hit? PNH will go viral for sure. As for that guy you work for - he sounds like an over-wrought lumberjack, I'm not sure this is a good career situation for you. Captains Kirk and Picard at least tried to be fair and act like leaders, they weren't leading with their chins while wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Perhaps the White Dynasty is HIS idea. Or maybe it's those do-gooding well wishers over at Pew, it's hard to tell. I too hope you will all soon be cured of nanotechnology and that those chemicals will be ripe so we can use them for something. Lampshades, perhaps.
