My life while the world spins madly on...

Thoughts arising while working as a scientist or just randomly spinning from my brain.

I don't give a damn, I'm happy as a clam, nobody knows me at all

Hockney + Yorkshire = awesome

Letzte Woche die David Hockney Ausstellung im Museum Ludwig angesehen. "A Bigger Picture" - der Name ist Programm.  Einfach toll - sollte jeder rein gehen. Einzige Frage: warum sind die Bäume lila zum Teil?

Went to see the David Hockney exhibition at museum Ludwig here in Cologne last week. Called "A Bigger Picture" and thats what it is. Simply brilliant - everybody should try and see it. Just one questions: why are some of the trees purple?

As if he'd even notice the loss of money by paying more tax for a couple of years. Time has arrived that everybody in society has to take his/her fair share. But now that he is a citizen of a great democracy...

 

Indignez-vous! Engagez-vous!


Ich mochte Depardieu eigentlich immer, aber das...

Als ob er ??berhaupt bemerkt h??tte, an seinem Kontostand, dass er f??r ein paar Jahre mal mehr (richtig?) Steuern zahlt und es ist einfach an der Zeit, dass jeder seinen fairen Anteil tr??gt. Naja, nun ist er wenigstens B??rger einer gro??en Demokratie, so historisch gewachsen und so...
