My Marriage to the Berlin Wall

This is interesting. And weird. And interesting:

Full explanation here: http://www.algonet.se/~giljotin/explan.html

I've heard more than a few people say they preferred things when Berlin was divided, and have heard many say the opposite as well, but I've NEVER heard of anyone going so far as to declare the wall, both seriously and passionately, is their husband.

Fussball Madness

Turkey won the game. At least, I assume so from the fireworks, the frantic screaming, and the overwhelming chorus of honking horns. Luckily, I'm still alive.

Sportscrazy

It is fussball season and the fans out on the street in front of my house have just gone crazy. Turkey won the game and now very car within a 5 mile radius is honking, people are screaming, and the sounds of fireworks ripping through the air like gun shots disturbs the storm moist summer night. Is this really the end of a fussball game or the start of a war?
