Wordless Wednesday
It seems that even pigs know how to play soccer!
These plastic pigs were set up in Germany as part of a display for Soccer Euro 2008. Apparently a A butcher’s shop installed the scene in front of its store for promotion purposes.
I wish I were in Germany for Octoberfest!
Anyone planning a vacation in Germany this year? It’d be great to visit in time for Octoberfest wouldn’t it? Beer, sausages, snitchel, and sauerkraut. Yum. If you are planning on going to Octoberfest I hope that you already looked for Hotels in Berlin. I actually think the festivals on right now. Oops. Well maybe next year for Octoberfest then. How about touring some castles or going to some of the famous spa resorts in Germany then?
I’d like to visit Vienna someday. It sounds like such a beautiful city. I know that I’d like to go on some of the walking tours in Vienna and perhaps even do some wine tasting too. I’m not sure that it’d be a good idea to combine the two activities though!
I’ve heard that there’s some beautiful Hotels in Vienna. The Bristol Hotel looks like a castle. It’s amazing! I think I’d want to stay there if I were going to Vienna. It’s a full service hotel from what I’ve read.
Have you been to Europe? Maybe Germany? What Hotels in Berlin would you recommend? As I said earlier theres a lot of reasons to visit Berlin, Germany and I hope that one day well visit that city as well as Vienna and a few other European must see cities as well.
Protesting man lured from perch by topless photo
Did you hear the true story about how a woman lured her husband from a self made box that was perched on top of a 72 foot pole?
No? Well he’d been up there protesting a looming jail term when his wife lured him down with a topless picture of herself that she’d included in the lunch that she’d sent up to him.
The hope and promise of a romp does it every time it seems.
Fred Gregor, 45 of Germany, was trying to have his 15 month conviction for fraud over turned by staying in his small cubicle which was perched high up on a converted television mast.
When interviewed over the telephone, he told Reuters that he wanted a new trial. His wife Susanne, 25, had originally backed up his protest until she eventually decided she’d had enough. Susanne is a former stripper. No wonder that topless photo worked! Together she and Fred are the parents of five children.
Perhaps now he’ll appeal his conviction just like most other people do when they feel that they’ve been wrongly convicted.
Cruel university exam supervisors make man urninate in exam room!
Don’t you think this is just cruel?
Exam supervisors at a German University stuck by the rules when a student writing an exam stated that he had to urinate mid-exam due to bladder dysfunction he wasn’t allowed to exit the room and use the washroom. Nope. He was provided with a bottle to urinate in and had to do it in front of the other 120 students who were also writing the exam.
I hope no women had to pee!
The overseers of the exam told the 27 year old student of Freiburg University in South Western Germany that he’d be failed if he left the room during the exam. The man had a bladder control problem due to an accident that left him on crutches.
The supervisors wouldn’t even accompany the man to the washroom despite the request of other students.
A kind female student emptied her water bottle so that the man could use the bottle in the corner of the room to relieve himself.
University deputy head Karl Reinhard Volz apologized to the student when he heard what had happened to the student. He went on to say that the supervisors actions were unjustified and lacking in any normal human sensitivity.
