Acontecimientos ¿históricos?
Ricardo Galli nos recomienda la lectura de un artículo de Dijkstra (que tengo a medio leer, pero es como mínimo «apasionante»), y tras reíme un buen rato de algunos de los comentarios aparecidos en Guarrapunto me acordé de que, oiga usted, existe un grupo de chalados intenta un nuevo conato de huelga que, con [...]
