Titles in Different Cultures (Part 1)

On his pre-Unicode era and hence obsolete blog, Jesse Enkamp spreads some great insights alongside plenty of nonsense. He for example teaches that no Japanese would refer to herself/ himself as sensei. Even teachers wouldn’t do so.

On the War against Saturated Fats (Part 1)

In some wannabe scientists’ fantasies exists a war against saturated fats. This war doesn’t exist in reality, but these wannabe scientists are at war against unsaturated fats.

German Peculiarities: Pierre Vogel

Whether a person can be a nation’s peculiarity really is a question here because Pierre Vogel until now had not too much influence. He’s rather an oddball. But he also is an instructive example! Pierre Vogel was raised Protestant, attended a Catholic school, and then began a career as professional boxer in 2000. He in […]

Where I Would Like to Be

Twice did I already travel through Bulgaria. The first time was due to a miscalculation. I knew a Pole, who carried a torch for Bulgaria. So when I visited Hong-Kong, I decided that I would, on my way back, continue the experiment about astrological worldlines in Bulgaria because the distance between Hong-Kong and Bulgaria is […]
