Weak links: Note to self: Make use of the weak links. Reading up on network theory and related topics - this simple - yet effective - tip needs to written on every desk.

Pied Piper: Today's Pied Piper makes YuGiOh cards. I'm not sure what it's like in other countries - but here in Germany the kids are all hooked on these pieces of card. I was really impressed when Magic came out - but could never find anyone else to play against. So my deck ended up in trash and I never really worked out the rules. Now it seems as though Konami got it right - a whole franchise based on the YuGiOh theme (TV, video, gambeoy game, trading card, toys). I have no idea what it's actually about - but I do know that the kids have gone mad. The cards are constantly sold out (at amazing prices) and the schools are now full of kids swapping, buying, stealing cards from each other.
