Missed class, but here are my notes, supplemented by Will’s official version.
| Ná baintear an t-ainm den bhlonag. | Don’t take the name off of fat | Call fat “fat” — Call a spade a spade |
| Gealt a chuir tús leis an rince. | It was a crazy person who started [invented] dancing. | |

| Bí go moch i do shuí Is go luath i do luí Is ní fada go mbeidh tú Chomh saibhir le rí. |
Be early in your sitting up [waking from bed] and early in your lying down and not long you will be as rich as a king |
|
| Is fearr an t-ádh ná éirí go moch. |
It is better to be lucky than to get up early. |

| Spáráil na circe faroigh ar an bhfraoch. | As sparing as the grouse on the moor. | Overly cautious, cheap (Supposedly the grouse only eats what is directly between its feed) |
| Chomh leitheadach leis na cuacha. | As conceited as the cookoos. |

| Rud nach bhfuil is nach mbeidh, nead ag an luch i bhféasóg an chait. | A thing that is not and will not be, the mouse having a nest in the whiskers of a cat. |
féasóg “beard” |
| Chomh dubh le tóin an phúca. | As black as the butt of a pooka. |
German scientists invent working teleporter, of sorts
An object at one end of the system is milled down layer-by-layer, creating a scan per layer which is then transmitted through an encrypted communication to a 3D printer. The printer then replicates the original object layer by layer, effectively teleporting an object from one place to another.
