Horst from The Aardvark Speaks today posted an accident riddle. He ear-witnessed an accident, and later on saw how the two cars were aligned. Somehow, the alignment didn’t make sense, so he sketched the scene and asked for help. Well, I took it upon me. I hope he’ll forgive me for not drawing my own sketch in order to provide my answer:
Right, so here’s the answer. Green Car wants to, illegally, turn left. Blue car, illegally, wants to go straight ahead, in an effort to quickly cut through the one-way street. Neither of the drivers think something could go wrong, since they expect everyone else to abide to the signs. They don’t look out for other cars, thus crashing in the manner drawn above. Green Car hits Blue Car in the side, both skid to the curb. Riddle solved.
Right, some of you may know it, some of you don’t, but the reason for my visit to the States was a wedding. Owing to my privacy manifesto (which in fact doesn’t exist per se, but if it did, it would basically say that I don’t publish pictures of myself or any other people who might not be so keen on appearing on some lame website), I can’t show you any of the festivities. But, I took a few pictures of the location, which was in downtown Kansas City. So, here’s one to wet your appetite, and due to performance reasons, the rest can be found after the jump:
That’s where the ceremony was held later on. Ah, how I love non-church weddings.

Well, let’s start the coverage of my short but fantastic USA vacation in earnest now. I already presented to you the bliss that was pretzel snacks, now here’s snack’s big brother, lunch:
In all honesty, it was simply delicious. I seriously don’t know what people have with airline food. Sure, it’s all wrapped up in about one thousands little plastic bags, tin foil wraps and whatnot, but once you get past that, there’s nothing to spoil it. Of course, drinking water out of a plastic cup of which you have to rip off the lid first is a bit awkward to say the least. But considering the fact that I’ve just written a sentence which probably needed one or two more commas, I guess I shouldn’t complain. And yes, you are right, that has nothing to do with the funky water container at all, I just wanted to draw your attention away from my faulty grammar and obnoxious writing style.
Don’t forget to return for tomorrow’s installment featuring pictures of the probably coolest wedding location you’ve ever seen (ok, it should actually read “I have ever seen”, but that wouldn’t make you come back, right?).
Since I wasn’t here when it happened, I didn’t comment at all on the “Non” by the French on the European Constitution. Now, I’m not a specialist in that field, so I won’t even try arguing for one side or the other. Unfortunately, I’m also not in a position to say anything about the content of the constitution either. I did visit the official website of the Austrian chancellery in order to obtain a free copy of the constitution. And they did send me an email stating that they’d received my request and soon I’d be the happy owner of a copy of the European Constitution. Well, almost a month later, I still am not. So in the end, they obviously don’t really give a fuck.
Well, I made it back. Surprisingly, no hassle at all with plane tickets etc. Although everything went smooth like that, I’m still a bit tired. So, for all you people who think patience is the name of a card game, let me relax a little, will ya? Until then, here’s a little observation from my flights:
That’s the welcome snack on board of the huge Austrian Airlines carrier.
And here’s the United/Air Wisconsin snack.
Isn’t it funny that usually you would get roasted peanuts, and nowadays it’s always pretzels?
PS: Actually, it’s not that funny. It seems airlines have noted that many people are allergic to peanuts, so they switched to pretzels. Still, it was a nice opportunity to show off my pretzel pictures.
