This is the type of news we get about Germany in Canadian newspapers, today one of the headlines read:

"One person was killed and three seriously injured yesterday by a man who
attacked them with a sword at a Protestant church in Stuttgart"

Just great.

I can't believe it, but I'm Google's #5 result for the "Dietmar Hamann Bridge" (see previous post about naming the new Wimbley bridge after the German who scored the last goal there). Cool. Geeky cool. Update: I just realized that I'm the #5 result on the #5 page :-( Damn, I thought my life was complete.

You can buy anything on Ebay... anything.

A good point about why we should be looking up to Wal-Mart... and this one on management as compared to rock climbing. Jones Soda seems to be doing the "listen to your customers" right.

Paris Hilton "on the Pod"... scary.
