"Do what you want!"

Patient's Mighty Sick.

You go to bed and instead of falling asleep all you can think of is how you could have died on that autobahn just like that.

A calm night on call.
Quiet lies the hospital.
Life or death: game on.

Not hungry enough to appreciate an honestto-goodness plate of rice, as my ethnically cleansed grandmother would have said.

Oh IWIN!

96 bottles of beer on the wall, 96 bottles of beer - if a doctor named A. shows a little restraint, there will still be 95 bottles of beer.

Wasn't my fault, if that's what you're thinking.

Are we being infiltrated by a superilluminated llama army from the Perseus cluster?

I thought so too.

It's The Perseus Cluster of Galaxies

Ah, good to know :wink:

German translation is out (Verdammte Scheiße, schlaf ein!). Only read the reviews, seemed loveable enough. :D

It's the Perseus cluster: 20 MLy away, 15 Mly end to end.

Here is the annotated version.

...it's full of galaxies!

I concur. We used to buy tickets for the Shuttle and the Soyus, now only Soyus.

We'll be buying tickets with the Chinese in ten years time.

I think you saw the point quite well. An inferior team can win in soccer if they manage to contain the strength of the opposition, go at the game full tilt, and have a stroke of luck in the end. This one was quite typical: USA get the lead early on; Brasil fight back with all the skill they can must...

In case she accepts, can we expect a nice Euroweasel invitation to Lac Léman?

Ideologies are so wonderful. They come out of their box all fact-resistant, don't they?

Enough with fancy joking and off-topic discussions! Back to the OP now.

OK, OK, even I don't believe myself... :(

I'd call that realistic, not cynical.

There is a school of thought that says that the Free Market is better at everything, always, all the time, and under any and all circumstances (a bit of reverse Communism, if you ask me; but that's not the point). Let's see how it performs. My prediction would be the US will get her heavily state-dr...

Objection. I like changing beween years with 3 Christmas holidays, and five. I like to have my birthday rotate through the week. I was born on an unremarkable Tuesday, I want to have a weekend birthday now and then! What's wrong with every year having a different "face" to it? Yes I know, ...

Germany 0 - 1 Japan (after ET) in the FIFA Womens' Soccer World Cup. The holding champion crash out against an ambitious, fast and able team during their home World Cup tournament, in dramatically poor fashion. They had it coming. The first round matches were sometimes dreadful to watch, three victo...

Bwa, shit gets flushed doen the toilet, so what? Murdoch will rehire some of the more ruthless of the pack to produce a Sun on Sunday, and that will of course be a shining example of journalistic ethics.

I'm afraid no. The sequence of "there is an elevated number of EHEC/HUS cases occurring in Northern Germany" to "it came from this organic darm in Bienenbüttel" took the German authorities a month, and they are no iditots. From that point via "it was in a sprout mixture"...

The German Federal State (and city) of Hamburg will abolish cursive as of the next school year starting September. However, the pupils will still learn to write by hand: The letters they learn won't have the ligatures and flourishes of the cursive letters - they will look a lot like print letters in...

I listened to radio feature about äsouth Sudan yesterday: Many, many problems: No economy, no education or health system, the army that won the independence war torn with rebellion, corruption, corruption, corruption and corruption - but at least they aren't liable to be butchered by the thousands a...

I need to watch my spelling and grammar. Probably a PUI incident. The role model of the surgeon in Germany used to be that of the technically proficient, 16 hrs a day, no-nonsense surgery hero, subservient while in training, progressively imperious while climbing the ladder. Most talk in the operati...
