I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I am amazed Russians like Germany so much.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

They buy our iron ore and ball bearings.

Monty Python found!

QuoteMonty the ball python went missing on June 13, the same night the Toronto Raptors won their first NBA Championship in franchise history.

How he ended up escaping from inside his terrarium is still a head scratcher, but his owner has tossed around a few ideas.

"Either he escaped on his own or he had some help from a very happy Raptors fan -- we're not sure," laughed Samantha Sannella.

Sannella's son discovered the snake on Thanksgiving while opening a cupboard in the basement of the family's Toronto home. Monty had been missing since June and the family was getting ready to post his terrarium online for sale when the snake decided to come out of hiding.

I've had a car again for a week now.

Speaking at least for around here...you blokes, while very polite most times in terms of giving way when appropriate...suck at driving.  And drive like maniacs on these narrow/poorly maintained "roads".

Apart from the noted reckless bravery on the tiny pedestrian pathways jokingly declared two-way roads for cars by some drunk Victorian 200 years ago, drivers here are much better on average than in Hungary. Far from everyone, of course, but still okay.

That was one of my main impressions of rural UK when I visited. That, compared to continental Europe, houses and streets seemed scaled down by 10-20%.

Would have been interesting to get the figure for Portugal, another country hit hard by austerity.

Apparently Poland is moving to ban sex ed from school. All of it. To protect kids from "depravity." The proposed law offers up to 3 years in prison for any teacher violating it.

Like that's a bad thing in conservative Catholic circles. :D
