Nature is weird.

Earlier this year, I wrote about the mysterious death of bees this past year. Given the name colony collapse disorder to reflect the potentially catastrophic decimation of honeybee colonies in the US and Europe, a German study pointed to waves from cell phone transmittal stations as probable cause.
Not true. The real reasons for colony […]

Take the Quiz and tell me how much land you need.  Be honest,  no cheating.
Apparently I need 18 acres of land to exist.  It didn’t say anything about the serfs or wenches living on my land though.

Maybe they’re a little bit more candid, a little less pc about the realities of corporate employment over there in the Duetscheland. Or maybe more able to laugh at it all. The below is the entrance to a recent job fair in Hamburg.

In many schools throughout the world, kids are routinely taught one or more languages. The last time I was in London, my UK friend recommended I go to Amsterdam partly because as she said the Dutch all speak English fluently as well as their own language.

A friend of mine sent me this, pretty funny, and it shows you how someday, somewhere…
The Kitties will rule the earth!

The superlions marooned on an island
Marooned on an island, this group of lions should have died out. Instead, in an evolutionary twist, they’ve learned to swim and become strong enough to tackle their only prey… giant buffalo
Fearless, ferocious and mightier than the world has ever seen, this is the new breed […]
