Just found this one on the net and decided to share it with you:
Students were assigned to read 2 books, "Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill Clinton.
One smart-ass student turned in the following book report, with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories!
His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report:
Titanic:..... $29.99
Clinton:..... $29.99
Titanic:..... Over 3 hours to read
Clinton:..... Over 3 hours to read
Titanic:..... The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and
subsequent catastrophe.
Clinton:..... The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and
subsequent catastrophe.
Titanic:..... Jack is a starving artist.
Clinton:..... Bill is a bullshit artist.
Titanic:..... In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.
Clinton:..... Ditto for Bill.
Titanic:..... During ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined.
Clinton:..... Ditto for Monica.
Titanic:..... Jack teaches Rose to spit.
Clinton:..... Let's not go there.
Titanic:..... Rose gets to keep her jewellery.
Clinton:..... Monica's forced to return her gifts.
Titanic:..... Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life.
Clinton:..... Clinton doesn't remember Jack.
Titanic:..... Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen.
Clinton:..... Monica...ooh, let's not go there, either.
Titanic:..... Jack surrenders to an icy death.
Clinton:..... Bill goes home to Hilary...basically the same thing
Today's V-Ger-Feature: Funny pictures!
I'm scared!
Just wanted to look if you're doing something!
Are you different?
First of all (so you know what I'm actually talking about):
http://www.milliondollarhomepage.co
This guy thought of a way to earn some money back in August 2005. He came up with the idea of creating a homepage with a 1,000x1,000 pixel image. He would sell each pixel for $1. Each pixel sold will contain an image chosen by the one who bought the pixel (you had to buy at least 10x10 ($100) pixels). The Homepage soon reached a tremendous amount of request and gained popularity. Many companies got interested and bought pixels. The last 1,000 pixels were sold on ebay for $31,800. So on Friday 13th January 2006 the 21 year old Alex Tew had a total income standing of $1,037,100.
What do we learn from that? The simplest ideas get the most money.
At the moment a friend and I are working on a similar strategy. We won't aim at €1,000,000 (Euro). We won't aim at €100,000. But we will aim at a nice amount. Everything I can tell at the moment is that it will not be a place for advertisements. We don't simply want to steal the idea but come up with something new. What do we have to lose? More details are still to come.
So long

| Empire You are 45% Honorable, 35% Bloodthirsty, 31% Magic-minded, and 76% tactically-oriented! |
| The empire, led by Karl Franz, is the most powerful nation in the old world. Men lack the powerful muscles, tough bodies, innate quickness or sorcery or the scaly skin of many of their adversaries. They make up for these shortcomings by their ingenuity. From noble knightly orders and some of the most powerful cannon in the world, to crazed flagellants, loyal state troops, and the mysterious colleges of magic, the Empire lacks no tools to defend herself. |

2006 has just started. I hope it will be even better than 2005.
What are the upcoming events?
No. 1: Soccer World Championship in Germany. I´m really looking forward to this. Will the german team (vice champion in 2002) be able to win it this time? Unfortunately I will be on a trip during the final game.
Which leads to event No. 2: Trip to the US! The most important event for me this year. TBR, Meg and Zabooafoo: I´m coming ;-)
No. 3: Wacken Open Air. One of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world. More than 30,000 metalheadz in one place watching 60 bands or more and having a good time. What could be more fun?
Can´t think of anything else happening this year. If I find something else I´ll tell you. Have a nice day and a happy new year!
Since I need a new passport to travel to the US of A next summer I went to order it today. Normally this thing costs €37.50 (around $45.00). I paid €52.50 so I wouldn´t get too much change back. And now the question: what´s 52.50 - 37.50? Right: 15. But instead of €15 this guy gave me €25. Now I actually paid €10 (around $12) less on my passport than I had to.
And people are wondering why Germany has so many debts ...
Hello? Is anybody out there?
Oh, damn, you scared me! Who are you? What are you doing here? How bored must you be reading this?
You want to know why I´m writing this? Well, since my three best friends already started blogging I don´t want to be the "different" one. Actually I think I am different already. Who isn´t? *someone yelling from behind: "I´m not!"*
Lets see if there is anything interesting about me...
I´m the crazy german aka. Mr. Spock. My homeplanet is the far Germainia, only five clicks away from the Great Roman Empire. Like most of my friends I´m kind of freaked out. Must have to do with our job: fixing computers. Who doesn´t freak out while messing with those machines? In theory nothing works but you know why it´s not. Practically everything works, but you don´t know why. We combined those two. So nothing really works and nobody knows why ...
