Dear friends,
The darker seasons are about to start or even already here. As we can not spend so much time outside anymore my idea was to initiate a movienight which is held in regulary intervals. It will take place at my place and there will be always snacks and drinks. I’ll always make proposals for movies and you’ll choose by online voting. The movies will be shown in original language and with English subtitles if necessary. Everything else will be very informal. No registration or preparation needed: Just drop by, if you feel like.
Please let me know how you like the idea by making your votes in the boxes at the right.

Über das Amt der Regierungssprechers
Johnny Klein, Der einstige Reigerungssprecher von Helmut Kohl, stöhnte einst über seinen Job: “Ich ahnte, das wird ein Drahtseilakt ohne Netz. Inzwischen weiß ich, ein Drahtseil ist auch keins da.” (Quelle: SpOn).

Kurzmitteilung zum Unitest ‘Harvard vs. Yale’
Lage: Harvard liegt in der pulsierenden Metropolregion von Boston, Yale im allzu beschaulichen Connecticut; 1-0 *** Architektur: Harvard hat viel historische Bausubstanz, Yale setzt eher auf Historizismus, letzteres sieht eindeutig besser aus; 1-1 *** Harvard-Yale Boat Race: Überragende 91 zu 54 Siegen für Harvard, 2:1 *** Bekannte Absolventen: John Adams, JFK, Natalie Portman für Harvard, William Howard Taft, Bill Clinton und Jodie Foster für Yale; das reicht für das erste Unentschieden; 3-2 *** Nobelpreise: 75 zu 17 für Massachusetts; 4-2 *** Merchandising: Yale hat die schöneren Artikel, Harvard die größere Auswahl, eine klares Unentschieden; 5-3 *** Eine Sonderpunkt für Yale für die „Lindsey Chittenden Hall“ ändert am 5-4 Sieg für Harvard nichts mehr. Ich bin dafür den Test in 100 Jahren zu wiederholen und melde mich schon mal freiwillig, um diesen dann durchzuführen.
