zahnlose, alternde Haie

»Es wird Zeit für eine Rechnung.«


Thomas Knüwer, in: Der erschreckende Misserfolg von Spiegel Online (Indiskretion Ehrensache/Handelsblatt Weblog, 22. Juli):

Deutschlands führende Online-Nachrichten-Seite, deren Chefs Büchner und Ditz sind, krankt unter ihrer Bedeutungslosigkeit.

For your desk or bookcase: The Berlin Siegessaeule

On July 24, Sen. Barack Obama will deliver his speech in Berlin in front of a Prussian war monument called the Victory Column, or Siegessaeule.

The 226-foot column, built in 1873, stood in front of Germany’s parliament building the Reichstag (postcard below, circa 1900, from Wikipedia), until 1938, when the Nazis moved it to its current location in the middle of the Tiergarten park.

There is a small but nice draft at Flickr you can print, cut-out, fold and glue to get a small but nice model of the Siegessaeule (in color).

Sanitation: People who like the lightweight portable cardboard toilet…

… made specifically for outdoor use (we praised it last week: The Shit Box) may also like:

The UroClub™ - the only club in your bag guaranteed to keep you out of the woods! In short: Like a standard 7 Iron but with an inner capacity of over half a liter, twice the volume commonly urinated.

UroClub

Our rating: Offers much, but only four and a half stars out of five because it’s not fully gender-neutral.
