I mentioned before that Vienna is known for having a bit of a morbid bend at times. One of the main markers of this I have yet to visit, but I should remedy that soon, I think.

The Narrenturm, or Fools Tower, is the oldest Psychiatric Asylum in continental Europe, built in the 18th century, and is now a pathologic-anatomical Museum, because of course it is. :D

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.

1972 wasn't particularly a banner year.

Well that's different.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Chinese troops massing at Pakistan's border

I know we always get it direct deposit almost immediately after filing. I never thought I would be appreciating the fast and convenient service of the IRS :lol:

Turkey is now in a de facto shooting war with Russia and Syria over Idlib, so they have opened up the borders for refugees to coerce the EU into helping them.

If he thinks the EU is going to help him keep a war going on Syria he's delusional. As soon as Assad wins we can ship every refugee back there to their now "safe" country of origin.

That's what you get for trusting Russia.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
