Especially now that I know what they are up to. They want to hurt my pride by cutting a leg off.
When they told me it would be necessary to amputate, the news didn’t affect me the way everybody expected. 2/
No, I was already a maimed woman when I lost you, again, for the umpteenth time maybe, and still I survived.
I am not afraid of pain and you know it. It is almost inherent to my being, although I confess that I suffered, and a great deal, when you cheated on me... 3/
Acabei de descobrir o Teorema do Macaco Infinito, e estou sem palavras.
"O Teorema do macaco infinito afirma que um macaco digitando aleatoriamente em um teclado por um intervalo de tempo infinito irá criar um texto qualquer escolhido, por ex. a obra completa de Shakespeare."
