I'm Back!
Haaaa.... FINALLY!
I'm home!!! That's sooooo good!! you don't know what you're missing unless you have it back again!:)
During the flight I almost died out of fear, and I certainly lost 10 pounds sweating my brains out. We had turbulences, I sat in the back, and I honestly believed the plane would break. Luckily I survived... And I think I merited the beautiful view out of the window in the morning, with the clouds slowly revealing the strangely familiar yet alien european, German landscape around Francfort:)
The internet is lame here, by the way:)

The 'REVENANT'
Hy---IAAAAA!
(Means 'hello' to normal and semi-normal people, probably like you...but then again, would you be reading this blog?)
Ok, I'll make this short and as less painful as possible:
Your menue for this Blog-Post consists of:
So, the solution for the last question ('Explain the hat of the pope')is pretty simple.
Of course the pope has several hats, but I was referring to the double-horned mitre.
Actually that's a remembrance to the worship of the ancient mesopotamian (though not limited to this region)'Fish-god' Dagon. (H.P.Lovecraft derived his 'Dagon' creature from that one...Yup, I know that Milton also had influence in that)
Anyway, the priests of the Dagon apparently used to wear outfits which made them ressemble fish, and when christianity arrived, they just took over that fashion.
And here's one to that hat stuff.
And here are some pics;-)
Let's start with Dagon;-)
And here's the pope, and some bishops. I think that that makes my point pretty clear...
So...I think that the guy below is pretty ubiquitous. Period.
Next time up on this blog: who got the really right answer. If you can't wait, scroll down to the comments of Sami and Stephan, and read who was right. By the way, I'm open for suggestions concerning the amount of points to give.
That said...I give 10 out of 10 radioactively glowing Desert Eagle .50AE rounds to the movie
My goodness, that's the action movie of the year!
When writing this I realized that less enthusiastic people might just foolishly ask as to why in fact that hard-boiled sonofab**** of a flick was so darn good.
So read on, to witness the core components of a damn good action flick.
1.) Jason Statham. This guy has a face you will remember, and he delivers the credibility needed for most of the roles he assumed until now, especially in that movie where he is hitman who got poisoned in his sleep. This man delivers the pack and the punch the script was asking for. In this movie he is the perfect cast for a maniac lunatic on a trip through L.A.
2.) Action that kicks balls. No CGI or wires were apparently used for that movie (I wonder how they shot the last scene, though...) and the very violent scenes which are underlined by a heavy kick-ass soundtrack are shot in a really rough way, and one can really feel the testosterone rushing...which is exactly what such flicks should do.
3.) Lots of innocent bystanders. That makes the scenery more lush:-) (as well as the well placed DEagles in combination with the innocent bystanders...)
4.) Hilariously funny sequences...(If you never saw a half-naked guy in a hospital trench driving down a highway on a stolen police motorbike waving his unshaved ass at every corner, that movie's for you:-) )
and all that sums up to a wonderful tour de force through L.A., shown by a sick hitman out for a vengeance. That movie is truly "manly, Magnum-size".
Here are some links, with trailers and stuff. Enjoy, and do yourself a favor and watch this.

Yay, the best things here:
A short scene from the beginning of the movie (17 secs) which shows IMHO very well the style of it all, and another short clip, which just might spoil you a bit. So the second one is only recommended if you are really still not sure you want to see it.

So you like Wii, huh?
I know you like the Wii.
I like the Wii too...but....maybe the phenomenal success this chubby/funky little machine got is also due to the wisdom of Nintendos superiors to drop the following gameconcepts. Muahaha:-)

Meine kleine süße!
Meine kleine süße Maus,
ich schreibe Dir diesen blogeintrag, da mir klargeworden ist, daß wir nicht zueinander passen. Unsere Beziehung war kurz, das gebe ich gerne zu, aber äußerst intensiv und leider, das musst Du zugeben, von Mißverständnissen geprägt.
Weiterhin trugen Deine offensichtliche Taubheit und auch Deine Dir unter Umständen noch nicht aufgefallene, an Blindheit grenzende Kurzsichtigkeit nicht zur Klärung unserer Differenzen bei.
Auch bin ich eine Person, die ein Mindestmaß an Privatsphäre für sich beansprucht und nicht sonderlich gut mit mangelnder Toleranz umgehen kann. Diesbezüglich war ich Dir ja schon weit entgegengekommen: Deine penetranten Geräusche des Nachts, Deine rituellen Grabearbeiten sowie Dein ungewöhnlicher Tag-Nachtrythmus störten mich eigentlich schon, nur brachte ich dies nie zum Ausdruck.
Heute hingegen, als Du des Morgens meinem Kleiderschrank entstiegst, meine empörten Zurückweisungen tapfer ignoriertest und statt dessen unerschrocken anfingst, mein Zimmer zu erschnuppern, hast Du eine Grenze überschritten, die Du besser nie betreten hättest.
Deine fantastischen Sprung-und Kletterfähigkeiten hast Du hervorragend unter Beweis gestellt, wie auch Deine offensichtliche Niedlichkeit.
Jedoch,
es schmerzt mich dies zu sagen,
Ich ekle mich ein wenig vor Dir.
Du stinkst!!! Ich weiss, Du kannst nichts dafür, aber wir passen nun einmal nicht zusammen.
Bedenke auch den enormen Grössenunterschied!
Ausserdem hattest du bei Wikipedia angegeben, daß Du lichtscheu währst, eine Aussage, die Du im Blitzlicht meines Fotoapparates effizient wiederlegtest.
(Mal ganz abgesehen davon, daß einige behaupten, Du würdest Krankheiten übertragen.)
In Anbetracht all dieser Widrigkeiten, scheint es mir das beste, unsere Beziehung so schnell wie möglich für immer zu beenden.
Hasta la Vista, Baby!

Why I love TM, TMS, TMN and TMSE.
Ok. Why do I like games? Because they give me extraordinary emotions. That said, I love Nadeo.
Why do I love Nadeo?
Simple, they made Trackmania. And Trackmania Sunrise. And Trackmania Nations. And Trackmania Sunrise Exxxtreme. And soon, they are going to sell Trackmania United.
That said, I love Trackmania.
Why do I love Trackmania?
Simple, it's one of the best games ever. It pushes creativity. It's very well done in technical terms.
It's special. The community is extremely nice, but you'll find that soon out for yourself. Since pictures can tell more than words, watch. Just some things to explain: The guys driving in the movies are very skilled, the car models are mostly custom made, and the music as well. Ah and yes, I don't like the copy protection. Have fun.

Round 5. Solutions, and a break.
Good evening! So, round 4 is over. To make a long story short, this time, more people then ever (...well..some people more) took part.
You'll find their names in the comment section of the previous post.
The correct answer was:
The world is ours. (!?...marks at the end as you like)
Simple, eh?
Apparently, the question for the site was difficult for some, but I accept every answer that included a sceptic view of things. The correct answer, which I had in mind, was www.skepdic.com, a very cool site! The answer to question number three was entropy. And the best overall performance was shown by Sami.
Anyway, I had a request for doing a quiz about music...and I think I'll do it...and furthermore, I had also the correct answers by ICQ by an old friend of mine, who goes by the name of Enigma, but he doesn't take part in the competition. I thought I'd just mention him here in case he continues reading this blog.
So....Congratulations to all participants!! I hope you had some fun! Let's move over to the point awarding sequence.
Markus: +5 for participation, +3 for some correct answers
Antoine: +5 for participation, +2 for some correct answers, but with less explanation and reading fun
Sami: +10 for the exact (nearly:-) ) answer and exhaustive explanation.
Jade: +5 for some correct letters and suggesting a musique-quiz
Stephan: +9 for the exact answer (nearly:-) ) but less explanation.
Giancarlo: +0 for ...what the heck is that? This is so weird, I decided to take it in. It's no one that I would recognize, anyway.
Let's see who has how many points:
Sami: 30 Pts.
Stephan: 26 Pts.
Jade: 12 Pts.
Markus: 8 Pts.
Antoine: 7 Pts.
thePumba: 1 Pts.
Manu: 1 Pts.
Christine: 1 Pts.
A very special ~+9 Pts. award goes out to Mr. Snakes.
Please note: I'm not very good at calculating stuff, so if you see a mistake, just go ahead and tell me. Right now, everyone still has the chance to win! Even people who are starting now to take part. With that in mind, I think that all of you merited a break and a bit of motivation.
In case you were wondering what the prizes you are working so hard for are, here you go:
1. A DVD! The DVD will be selected by me according to whom has won the quiz.
2. A CD! The CD will be selected as well by me according to whom has won the tournament.
Prizes 3 to 5 are the equivalent of a Mokkacino or another beverage which comes out from our 'coffee'-machine.
Okay! Ready for Round 5?
here it is, only one question, simple to answer, no more hints will be given away:
Explain the hat of the pope.
*hehe...you didn't expect that, right?*
(I'm pretty sure that I might burn in one of the nine hells for asking that, and thinking that the answer is funny.)
Ah yes...I was working very hard on a very huge project for a very long time, so I excuse myself for not updating this blog. Today I went to the biodome, and I took some pictures too...which I will upload soon:-)
Have Fun! (and be wild.)
