Fellatio in der Badewanne
Ich begann, Textzeilen von Jim Morrison in die Schulbank zu ritzen.
“Break on through to the other side!” stand da nach der ersten Stunde, “There will never be another one like you!” nach der zweiten.
In der grossen Pause blieb ich im Klassenzimmer.
“This is the end, beautiful friend.”
Wenn die Beatles Petting waren und die Stones Sex und Led Zeppelin Ficken, dann waren die Doors Fellatio in der Badewanne mit anschliessendem Selbstmordversuch zu viert.
Ich liess mir die Locken über die Schulter wachsen, (was gar nicht so einfach war, denn krauses Haar hat die Angewohnheit in die Höhe und in die Breite zu schiessen, wie Hefe), ich mopste den schwarzen Persianer meiner Mutter und begann, düstere Gedichte zu schreiben.
Und weil die mir gefielen, ritzte ich die auch in die Tische und Bänke, gleich neben Jim Morrison.
Und so.
Adultitis
Adultitis is a common condition occurring in people between the ages of 21–121, marked by chronic dullness, mild depression, moderate to extremely high stress levels, a general fear of change, and, in some extreme cases, the inability to smile. Patients can appear aimless, discontent, and anxious about many things. Onset can be accelerated by an excess burden of bills, overwhelming responsibilities, or a boring work life. Generally, individuals in this condition are not fun to be around.

Professor Andrew White, from UQ’s Centre for Quantum Computer Technology together with colleagues from the University of Toronto in Canada, said by manipulating quantum mechanically entangled photons – the fundamental particles of light – the prime factors of the number 15 were calculated.
Laser Gunship Revealed
Boeing has taken the first step in making the laser gunship a reality by installing the weapon on a C-130H. Boeing completed the laser installation Dec. 4 at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M.

Top Ten Astronomy Pictures of 2007
Astronomy is arguably the most beautiful of the sciences. I’m biased, of course, but it’s nearly impossible to gaze upon a picture of a galaxy, a moon, a nebula, and not see in it something compellingly artistic. Sometimes it’s the color, sometimes the shape, and sometimes it’s the knowledge that we can understand the subject of the picture itself.
Die Frage nach dem Universum
Was uns an Computern beeindruckt, ist eine Mischung aus Dummheit und Geschwindigkeit. Ein Supercomputer kann ja nicht einmal Zigaretten holen gehen.
The American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, known then simply as weird fiction. Lovecraft’s major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Originally aired on BBC Radio in 2006 with contributions from Neil Gaiman, S.T. Joshi, Kelly Link, Peter Straub, China Mieville and others.
