Flying Garage

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Yet, no proof of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but I have photographic evidence that the Flying Garage exists:

Yes, and the flying truck also exists:

Actually, the wonder did not happen unexpectedly, we ordered and paid for it. We also had the entrance to our house paved:

Now we can easily access and leave our house with the pram, which is still silently waiting in the corner of our corridor for the baby to arrive within the next days … let the real wonder begin!

University Drop-outs Have a Larger Social Network

Monday, August 13th, 2007

In the footer of a LinkedIn email:

Fact: Harvard Business School graduates have 58 connections each (average)

I did not even finish university and not even at Harvard and I have currently 132 connections. What’s wrong with Harvard Business School?

24 in Swabian

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Some folks at Mindquarry are uberfans of the 24 TV series. Lars is one of them and he just sent a link to me with three video sequences from 24 dubbed in Swabian, the dialect of my region.

Even if you understand German, it does not necessarily mean that you will understand the video dialogs, but if you do grasp the meaning, I’ll bet you’ll laugh just as much as I did.

Just Finished Reading all of the Internet

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Today is a great day, because after 11 years, I am finally done reading the Internet.

I heard that there will be a new version coming out, called Web 2.0? Maybe they can make it a bit easier to read: Navigating through those millions of pages of all those sites was not easy at all. Actually, as long as the contents of the new Internet will also be for free, I don’t really mind all the navigation hassle.

It would be great if they offered the next version of the Internet as a printed book, that would allow for convenient offline reading and I could spend the next 11 years somewhere else, at least not in front of my computer. Then again, I fear that book might become really expensive…

Brian named this revolutionary new product the “Keep-it-fresh Cups” and made the above picture. Now, we only need to apply for a patent … ;)

Differences between Italians and Europeans

Thursday, July 24th, 2003

“This film is dedicated to those who believe that Italians behave the same as all other Europeans.”

You need Flash installed in your browser to view this animation showing all those lovely prejudices about Italians. Turn on your speakers!

About the political background: This animation is circulating in Germany after Berlusconis fatal speech at the European Parliament. You see, the Germans must be humorous persons if they like such movies :)
