Two days ago my girlfriend and I went on a little trip around Lake Constance, which incidentally is perfect for little trips. It’s littered with all kinds of touristy attractions, and there are heaps of picturesque little towns inviting you to have a drink and enjoy its displays of centuries of history. Unfortunately, the sun was unrelenting, and most of the time we were ready to forget about the centuries of history and simply indulge in minutes of jumping into the lake. Being the diligent trip-goers that we are, we didn’t.
Our ultimate goal were the prehistoric lake dwellings, which everyone who went to school or who lives near Lake Constance has seen sometime during childhood. I think the last time I saw them was when I was about six years old, so I thought another visit might be nice.
For those of you not familiar with this kind of attraction, the lake dwellings in Unteruhldingen (Germany) are replicas of prehistoric lake dwellings which are believed to have been there some 5-3 thousand years ago. Inside, the replicas are complete with tools, beds, ornaments and whatnot. It’s jolly interesting and probably enjoyed best during temperatures below 37° Celsius.
All right, enough talk. Here are some pictures. Click on the back of my head (or anywhere else on the picture) to get to the gallery.
I could of course be blogging about the launch of the Space Shuttle or Microsoft’s decision to rename Longhorn to Vista (what the…?), but since I’ve made it sort of a habit of simply ignoring important things happening in the real world, I won’t stop doing that now. So instead, please enjoy a picture:
I won’t even go into the whole “potato(e)” thing now, but I am well aware of the innumerable possibilities of exploiting this picture.
Always on the lookout for totally unnecessary things on the Internet? Well, venture no further, for I’ve found the ultimate: Logogle. Create your own Google logo, and start searching the net. Here’s mine:

Argh, I should really use my spare time more sensibly.
The first three weeks of my summerjob are over, and today marks the beginning of my two week vacation. And now we’re already off to the mountains, in anticipation of an interesting opera tonight. Have a nice weekend as well.
Yesterday I explained to my co-workers that the most expensive coffee in the world is in fact made of coffee beans eaten, digested and shat out by a catlike marsupial. They thought I was shitting them (ha!), and demanded proof. Well, I gave them proof today by printing out a detailed story about Kopi Luwak, the most expensive piece of shit people drink. And since I can’t get enough of that sordid little story, here’s a nice gif animation explaining graphically how that coffee is produced (it’s actually a cute little animation, so no need to freak out).
