Argentines for the world!

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

We had the best car racer: J.M. Fangio.
We have the best football player (Soccer): Lio Messi.
We had the best football player (Soccer): D. A Maradona.
We have a queen in Holland: Máxima.
now, we have an Argentine Pope.

Next steep: the forum, ja ja ja...

Congratulations and good luck Jorge Mario Bergoglio!, although I'm atheist.

You forgot tango, lithium, and some rare earth metals. Congratulations on your new pope, let's see what he does.

Taking over the forums though? Ehhhhhhhh.... Maybe not (leave that up to the Canadians).

 

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

Thank you!

I forgot to write the best cardiologist: René Favaloro (RIP).

What about the beef and empanadas? Mantecol is not bad either!

Ah, did you stay at Argentina?.

 

[vdi_nenna]

I was born there in '71, near Buenos Aires. Moved to the US in '76.
Parents are Italian. Still have family and friends there.

Politically inflammatory comment deleted. Next politically inspired comment to this discussion earns its poster bin time. (Violation of forum policy)

The new pope also is a masters-level chemist. Woo-hoo!!!!

Ok, mine are Argentine, but older ones was Italian (by the arm of my father, I also have Italian citizen), but from mother a rare mix of Germany, Italy and Catalan. Thank for your comments.

Thanks Kevinkr!

OMG Argentina has some of the best Beef in the World. If you have not tried it than you have no idea what Beef is and I lived in kansas City, MO for 4 years. That hunter gatherer just come out.. LOL!

 

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

Yes, but as our politic tendency continues, beef will be extinguished. In fact the count of terrain whose destination was to breed cows, is actually moved to soy because of higher international prices.

SY: I didn't know this. Interesting. Thank you.

Thanks for the comments.

Yay a Chemist!

(chemistry is in everything you do everyday)

 

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

Chemistry would be my second Engineer title as I love them a few less than Electronics.

Once a professor say that chemistry and electronics are brothers. Because the come from the same father (Physics) and as one evolved, the other also. Newer chemical products developed to be used in Electric (by example, resins to encapsulate semiconds) and electronic gives better controls to chemical industries.

OK, let's see if I got it right.

So the new guy drives a Ferrari, kicks you in the...if you hit his car, shakes with a powder'd hand, has a thing for fur & designer shoes, and likely runs his own meth lab.

Anything else ?

ZM in the corner

 

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

Sorry, what is "ZM"?

 

[Decker]

Anybody got a photo of Pope Francis eating a steak?

 

[picowallspeaker]

It would be strange to see the opposite as cows are known to be vegetarian

 

[jacco vermeulen]

We could brainwash one, turn it into a Kamikaze Cow.

Kind of like you being OdB, look at the guy above you. That's our beloved ZM
