8/26    Everytime I go to Yahoo Odd News I see some German guy/gal doing
        something crazy or stupid. What is it about the Germans?
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050826/od_nm/germany_vandal_dc
        \_ Adam Carolla (Loveline, Man Show) has a bit he calls "Germany
           or Florida" where he talks about some stupid stunt and callers
           have to guess where it happened. He points out that weird stuff
           always seems to happen in Germany or Florida.
           \_ or reported more often in .de or FL.  If some of that
              stuff happened say in SF, would anyone even blink an eye?
              \_ Have you read any of Carl Hiaasen's fiction or Elmore
                 Leonard's? I think they often write about Florida (and both
                 live there) because batshit crazy makes for good fiction.

5/16    Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
        From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
        to keep Greece from imploding entirely.   Are they hoping the
        Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
        Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?
        Is it just that they won't be able to pay basic gvmt services

6/30    German John was talking about miniskirts in Europe. Well, I made it
        to Paris and Amsterdam in June and he wasn't kidding. I liked the
        tall blonde Dutch girls riding bikes in short skirts and boots.
        \_ Damn, now I want to go to Amsterdam. Again. Without my wife and
           two kids. Probably not going to happen this summer.
