Great… just before I left Berlin some of our neightbours seemed trying to rebuild the house a bit… they were laying parquet or sth in the middle of the night. It’s just fantastic…
And guess what happened this morning… damn!
Which was especially bad since I came home at about six in the morning and they started at about nine… I’m lovin’ it!
To explain the late return… I was on my first “master-thesis-done-party”.
Which seams to be sth very big over here…
We had great fifty-people-three-course-menu-and-a-lot-of-alcohol-
brought-from-cheap-Germany-drink-as-much-as-you-can-party… I enjoyed it a lot (still not having any alcohol, for those who might ask)… Even though I was feared of the fact, that they might expect me to do a similar one???

Poor little mermaid…
Just right at the WorldWomenDay (08.03.06) the poor little girl sitting and freezing in the harbour of Copenhagen got raped again… This time she got a dildo and a green date stamp.
Poor little girl!
For all german readers, here’s more
New home at Kollegiegården
From next month on I’ll be living at Kollegiegården, a dormitory in the north of Copenhagen… not to far from the institute, not to far from the city, cheaper than everything before, most likely cleaner than F.+H.’s and including internet and cable-tv connection. Which means that my phone connection (it’s a landline in Berlin: +493020236449) will always online when I’m “home”. The same is valid for Skype (heimleiterdk) of course.
The mystery of the skipping stone
I just had my coffee/tea discussion session and some magazine reading/tea drinking afterwards…
And guess what I found… yeah right the title!? Anyway…
There is an article about stone skipping in Physics World (Volume 19 No 2 February 2006).
Another proof that the possibilities for physicists are endless…
Even though these guys were cheating by using an aluminium plate instead of a stone it’s quite impressive… In the end it all depends on angles and velocities.
Read more at physicsweb.org.
But another even more impressive thing (also mentioned in the article) is the fact that the current record for stone skipping lies at 40 bounces (Kurt Steiner, watch the video here).
Read it and beat him!
Olympic Games 2020
This morning I read in the newspaper that Copenhagen is applying for the Olympic Games 2020. The authorities are still struggling whether it’s a good idea or not… the usual stuff. But they still have one big problem… they just don’t know where to do the white water rafting… since you would need some kind of torrent for that kind of sport.
And this is kind of a problem for a country with a hundred’n’something hill being the highest mountain…
