… that is, Vienna is no (second Cór-)doba (where Austria kicked Germany out of the World Cup 1978). 
Guardian angels cause internal injuries and broken bones
An Australian base jumper’s parachute did not open properly when he jumped down a waterfall – reason for the radio news of Antenne Bayern to praise “multiple guardian angels”, AFP’s German report sticks with the singular, saying “The guardian angel apparently didn’t let him down” (my translation); “the man suffered a suspected broken leg and pelvis and internal injuries”, full report without “heavenly help” in English here.
Hello, dear guardian angel(s), how about fixing the guy’s parachute to make it unfold properly? (If you actually existed, that is…) I think it’s rather (unintentionally) cynical of the news writers/speakers to actually praise the “guardian angels” in cases like this, if you indeed believe in them.
(By the way, the jumper may be charged by the police due to jumps being illegal there.)
Projekt 52 week 25: Ramshackle, scruffy
The topic of week 25 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:
Ramshackle, scruffy
This time, I admit it, a photo from May – the assumption that there would be a topic like this in Projekt 52 played a role in the making of this photo, of course. Well, I could go out and shoot the same object again, but what for?
I modified color saturation and contrast “a little”, as you can imagine…
Links of the Week (2008/24)
- Crazy stuff during the football Euro 2008 (German): Some use homeopathy and tarot cards
- Sapere aude (German) proves the statement “You owe me 100 Euro” the way some folks want to prove the existence of god.
- The Surrealist Compliment Generator (via Nerdcore) – e.g. „Fast blinking reveals the true visage of time pieces hidden within your eyes“ or „Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey.“
Projekt 52 week 24: Tools
The topic of week 24 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:
Tools
Without further ado, let’s get right to the photo:
A photo that’s ambiguous in multiple ways: A little house made of bits, i.e. screwdriver head pieces with the same name as the basic unit of information storage, with a USB stick (containing even more bits) from our company which offers (mostly software) tools for PC diagnosis (and more) as door. Sorry for this little advertising…
