In episode 921 in the Wa-no-Kuni (ワノ国) Arc of the anime series One Piece, the oiran (花魁) Komurasaki (小紫) parades through the streets. She later turns out to be Kōzuki Hiyori (光月 日和), the younger sister of Kōzuki Momonosuke (光月 モモの助). But I had rather wondered what is an oiran. Obviously somebody, who got admired […]
Each bully is a fool. But a bully is not only a fool. Each bully also is a coward! Bullies don’t have intentions like facing you one on one for fighting fairly! Bullies attack only when they are able to outnumber you and when they are sure that you won’t get help and that there […]
As I already wrote: In order to avoid losses for the producers and merchants, the price for a certain product mustn’t be lower than a certain minimum, while theoretically an upper limit doesn’t exist. In practice, a product is too expensive if nobody is able to afford it. Between these extremes, any price for a […]
After I watched ‘An Interview with God’, I wrote a critique. I more recently had and used the chance to watch the tv series ‘God Friended Me’. I must say that everything, what I criticized that movie for, was made much better in this tv series! The protagonist is an Atheist, whose father is a […]

A bully could […]
47th POTUS Donald Trump and his Secretary of War Pete Hegseth thought they’d be able to defeat Iran in a blitz. Yet nobody knows how to do a blitz. Many Americans think that it would be a method of warfare invented by Nazi Germany and hence having a German name. But a Blitz in German […]
I wrote and published already two articles on a certain interview. It had two parts, but I still need a third article for telling here about it. The first and second of my articles on it described what the Shroud of Turin and two other relics still tell about the man, who got crucified during […]
When I was a child, I from time to time had to go on a hiking day of the kindergarten or the elementary school. Such hiking days probably still exist. I liked the diversion, yet I didn’t fit better or worse into the group than at any other day. So for not standing out, I […]
Nihongodera was a great website offering Japanese language tools. Nihongodera contained a Japanese-English dictionary with more entries than any other online dictionary, which I so far know. Nihongodera also covered rare or strange kanji pronunciations and contained a tool, which guessed the pronunciation of Japanese writings, sometimes even correctly. Nihongodera was a website full of […]
