Illuminati-R-Us

According to FAZ.net, 10.000 missing person in one harbour city Miyamisanriku, Miyagi prefecture) alone.

As they wrote in one article, the disaster is far from over yet.

Where we live, pretty much all nature can throw at us is tornado storms. And if one hits you, goodbye. But it is the sort of thing that can knock down your neighbor's house and not touch yours. Most of them miss most of us. We have nothing in our direct experience that causes massive widespread des...

And who wouldn't be happy if some nice little England bashing came along with the package? :D

You're most welcome :wink:

300 killed up until now. This is extremely sad, and I second tubeswells' condolences.
However, given the images we're getting at the moment, "only" 300 killed is also a towering achievement. Look at the large fishing boatsbeing thrown hundreds of meters inland... Hats off.

Ahem. SHE lost it.

Not a chance. They left their destination with the luggage compartement TOTALLY empty.

Another goner...

You'll stay up there for a looong time, tubes .

Good times, these. Barca is playing the Platonic ideal of football; the Great Satan, for once, loses (AC Milan crash out against legendary football giants Tottenham); German players are sought, hired and actually put on the pitch by international top teams. Even Schalke (SCHALKE!) enjoy success agai...

Isn't Mardi gras tomorrow?

But isn't it Dimanche today?

Since these are male sculptures, it's Les Présidents, n'est-ce pas?

For manned access, yes. For provisions, there were the Прогресс (Progress) spacecraft. We now hve the European Automated Tranfer Vehicle ATV (Jules Verne, Johannes Kepler); we might have the Spece X capsule. But during the hiatus after the Columbia dis...

A very interesting discussion. Sorry for being late, the job is a bit overwhelming at the moment. From what little I have read on this, the tourist from Quebec was not making a political statement – he thought he was being photographed in a humorous pose. The intention may even have been sarcastic, ...

Ah, the cycle. I went through that last year. it seems every fan except the we-love-ManU-Real-Bayern-Milan-because-they-always-win crowd seems to get that once in a while. And except Heid, of course, who can at least be dure that Rangers will always be at least second in the Scottish Premier League.

Mactep, for all I know you are right about Mein Kampf. Its distribution inside Germany is forbidden - I am not sure if owning a copy is illiegal, too. The Federal state of Bavaria is the trustee of Adolf Hitler's personal estate and thus holds the right to Mein Kampf. Until 2016 (end of 1945 + 70 ye...

I may add that the rather strict rules against Nazi symbolism and their political and ideological positions predate the rise of "political correctness" by several decades. They are woven into the lagal and political fabric of this country. I'd like to add further that I fully spport this l...

You can be VERY happy that Rangers aren't Hertha then.

I have that nagging suspicion SOME here do indeed not live by the Holy Football Year, as terricble as that may sound. Just pretend I never wrote the correction.

(ETA: it should have been "on the last day of play in the 1985/1986 season". Anyway)

Bayern 1 - 3 Dortmund

One of those rare days of pure joy in German club football.

That is the first Christian response I have seen during this whole War On Terror shit.

I can support Mactep's point by stating that when I transferred our new car from 600 km away (372 miles) I scored an average speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) at 6 l/100 km (39.2 mpg).

At 1,35 €/l (1.86 US$/ l, 7,04 US$ per gallon), that journey cost me € 48.6.

I felt fine.

Alemannia Aachen 0 - 5 Hertha.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!

Incidentally, I learned today that Aachen shot Hertha into the Third (then amateur) league on the last day of 1986.

OK, that means no more Mr. Nice Guy for Aachen from me.

Manchster City, but without the money. :D I'd say, Hertha before the 90s, but even worse. Even the coulours are the same, 1860's blue being a bit paler. Der Kaiser grew up an 1860 fan didn't he? Or is that urban myth? No, it's true. He wanted to join 1860, then the larger club, in 1958, age 13. He ...

No, not quite like that. 1860 are a club horribly tormented with overbearing, stupid, greedy, incompetent management. The image of the loser gang sticks with them whereever they go. they are, to a degree, the club of the locals. Originally, their roles were reversed: 1860 was the proud club of the c...

Me too, but then again, I don't speak English.
