Otra razón para no limpiar la casa...

Another reason not to clean the house...

Hmmm, I am sure you did not read your English after trying to decide whether to say not to clean the house or not to do the housecleaning. Looks a bit like something I do regularly. :D - bosquederoble, Oct 1, 2015

Answer 5

No creo que esto sea precisamente lo que los filósofos querían decir cuando inventó inventaron el término “el fantasma en la máquina”.

I don’t think this is precisely what the philosophers were trying to say when they invented the term “the ghost in the machine”.

..inventaron.. - Pablo064, Oct 1, 2015

Thanks, Pablo. That was dumb on my part. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 1, 2015

jejejeje - rac1, Oct 1, 2015

;) - jrschenk, Oct 1, 2015

Another way to correct it would be to say "cuando se inventó ---etc" - Daniela2041, Oct 1, 2015

yes, thanks Daniela. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 1, 2015

Answer 6

Me parece que este hombre debió haber tirado mucha basura para que la aspiradora se haya enfurecido tanto.

I think this man must have been throwing a lot of garbage around if the vacuum cleaner became so enraged.

Good, Porcu ... maybe "must have been throwing"... if the vacuum cleaner became "so" enraged. - sanlee, Oct 1, 2015

..debió haber tirado mucha basura para que la aspiradora se haya enfurecido tanto..:) - Pablo064, Oct 1, 2015

Answer 8

Me dijeron que este tipo de aspiradora robot estaba programada para no atacar a los seres humanos.

They told me that this kind of robot vacuum cleaner was programmed to not attack human beings.

Clearly, it is violating the prime directive. ;) - jrschenk, Oct 1, 2015

Maybe his wife called him a pig so often that the vacuum did not think of him as being human. - gringojrf, Oct 1, 2015

@jrshenk: I believe that it was SF author A. E. Van Vogt who was the first to speak of "The Laws of Robotics" - Daniela2041, Oct 1, 2015

AnnRon indicates it may be Isaac Asimov. (I'll Google it.) - Daniela2041, Oct 1, 2015

AnnRon is correct. I checked Wikipedia, and the "not hurting humans" law was the First Law of Robitics, promulgated by Isaac Asimov. - Daniela2041, Oct 1, 2015

@All, Isaac Asimov's short story "Bicentennial Man" is awesome. ;) - jrschenk, Oct 1, 2015

You are all very clever. Great job, everyone! - sanlee, Oct 2, 2015

Si no sabes cómo usar algo, es tu enemigo.

If you don’t know how to use something, it’s your enemy.

Answer 11

Cómo si la almohada pudo detener la fantasma de aspiradora .

As if the pillow could stop the ghost vacuum.

¡Bienvenida! Me encanta tu punto de vista sobre esto. ;) - jrschenk, Oct 1, 2015

Welcome to the picture of the day, Dela Siera! Thanks for participating! - sanlee, Oct 1, 2015

Subjunctive alert!!!! "Como si la almohada pudiera----" :-) - Daniela2041, Oct 1, 2015

:) ♥♥ Thanks for the "alert" Cote. I always need help in the subjuctice. :) - sanlee, Oct 2, 2015

Thanks! Is the subjunctive necessary because of the uncertainty of whether the pillow could stop the vacuum? - DelaSierra, Oct 2, 2015

Answer 12

Very funny I love it! The vacuum is going crazy.

Muy gracioso yo amor la! El aspiradora es partida loco.

Instead of "yo amor la" you need to put: "Me encanta" (That's the Spanish Idiom for "I love it." - Daniela2041, Oct 1, 2015

you can also say 'La aspiradora se está volviendo loca or 'la' aspiradora está enloqueciendo' :) - Pablo064, Oct 2, 2015

Thanks, Pablo, I didn't even notice the second part. Guau. - Daniela2041, Oct 2, 2015
