All answers to the BIG questions or Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Life But Were Afraid to Ask.

Wee gee! What does that mean, besides the cross-references to Woody Allen and to the Philosopher’s Attic^©?
Hey pal, do you really think you’ll give all the answers to the BIG questions? How did you came by such a bombastic idea of a blog?
Curieux curieux… Si vous me permettez cette incartade dans le monde des petites questions, je vais articuler mes réponses comme suit: pourquoi ce blog? que sont ces questions importantes que je me pose à moi-même, qu’on me pose, ou qui ne sont que le résultat de mon délire et, Pourquoi y répondre ? Tout cela n’est-il qu’un exutoire sans pareil pour ma folie lancinante ?
Now, as you may have noticed first, in this blog, everything is bilingual. Pas traduit, mais bilingue… just another way to have fun. But, to your relief, I’ll try to write a whole post only in English or in French, but not mix them, to make things easier for people who don’t know one or the other language.

Why this blog? To answer this is not an easy task… You must first know that I have an absolute lack of will with all things concerning computers, considering it my first public ennemy. Bien que cet outil merveilleux m’ait souvent facilité ma vie professionnelle (bases de données, échanges d’informations, etc.), il trouve toujours le bon moyen de me faire perdre un temps fou en bug, problèmes et consorts. BUT… my wife is a sort of computer geek, who loves all this computing and data processing… you may understand the consequences of our relationship by yourself… as I don’t want us to turn to some Mil and Margret, I decided to give up and open this blog… but, as I am a fool, not an idiot, I urge her to an agreement: I’ll do the writing, she’ll do the design (heheh)… et maintenant voilà le résultat: Hunk of Junk.

En ce qui concerne « Toutes les réponses aux questions importantes ou tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur la vie sans jamais oser le demander », et ce qui les lie au Hunk of Junk, littéralement un tas d’ordure, c’est finalement assez trivial: les questions importantes ne sont pas toujours celles que l’on croit et l’on peut y répondre parfois plus aisément que ce que l’on aurait pensé de premier abord – de plus, je ne vais pas y répondre à toutes en une seule fois (je suis peut-être fou, mais je ne suis pas malade). Of course such questions as Why are we here? What’s life all about? Is God really real, or is there some doubt? What’s the point of all this hoax? are big questions alright, but are they really BIG? Besides the fact that all those questions were already answered in the Monty Python’s movie The Meaning of Live in 1983, I’m not sure those are really the important ones… as Virginia Woolf said in The Common Reader, « Let us not take it for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small », and sometimes small.. is really BIG… and answers are sometimes needed, and without delay… si vous voulez savoir exactement ce que cela veut dire, je ne peux que vous inviter à lire Hunk of Junk…
