Oh Man: A Hoax is Circulating
A hoax is currently making the rounds in which images from the film Armageddon show an exploding shuttle. The images are being passed off as pictures from a spy satellite, claiming to show the Columbia. The embarrassing part: apparently members of the American military and Homeland Security are also distributing this stuff. Very reassuring. When will they launch a first strike against the suspected terrorists who allegedly attacked the shuttle? After all, you could easily present the images to the UN as proof of Hussein's rogue state status. Sure, the images are fake, but better than the false evidence Rumsfeld presented to the UN.

Jutta continues to tinker with X11 and has written two posts about configuring XTerms and other details.
At Hexentanz I found the original article.
Hmm. I also question whether it's a good strategy to harshly attack both the former party chairman Genscher and the current party leader Westerwelle if one wants to remain in the FDP.
Mental dissolution of a boxer? I mean, he's often referred to as a boxer, and many of them have a soft brain after years of boxing, from all the blows ...
At tagesschau on the internet you can find the original article.
Monitor is running a report on American coercion of undecided candidates in the UN Security Council. African states are being presented with a clear choice: either be left completely isolated economically or cooperate. Chile is being blackmailed with the failure of economic negotiations. Overall, a diplomacy of extortion and bribery. Crowned by the spying on UN diplomats. With the goal of killing people.
Also interesting (in a very horrific way) are the photos of war victims (by Stanley Green and others). Everyone should remember that precision weapons are nothing more than weapons that kill people - and that the precision is just a lie. Unfortunately, hardly anyone really wants to see that - people prefer to convince themselves that war is as clean as American military propaganda (among others) depicts it. Collateral damage could just as easily be us - or any other civilian who happens to be in the wrong place. Even if that wrong place is their home, and all they do is live there.
There are plenty of churches in Münster. And the cathedral has certainly been photographed often enough. Never mind. It's part of Münster, the weather was nice, so it goes in here. That's that.
The willows already have their first leaf buds, shimmering in light green and giving the weeping willows a beautiful yellow-green color. I always look forward to it, even though I really should be upset: willows are one of the tree species that I'm allergic to ...
OK, I may have overdone it a bit with the wide-angle lens...
The Josefskirche. I somehow like the church (as a building, really the function is quite irrelevant to me), it looks so out of place where it stands. Like a remnant of a bygone era.
