Fight the Frogs. More black & white German Television on the official homepage of the 'new' Orion movie: A Space Invaders Game (Flash) in the Raumpatrouille look. And they still haven't managed to get an English translation done... well, at least *my* site can be read all over the planet. Anyway, have fun and blast those Frogs out of space! (Arrow Keys and and Space!) 8:01:03 PM     |

Mostly black and white. The Graphical Appearance of German Television (German text). Brilliant. Warning: Very, very, very slow loading and a lot of broken links. 5:06:13 PM     |

Drosophila Melanogaster. Because Anneke is still missing a box filled with 3267 (dead) flies, here is a very interesting website about fruit flies. Maybe that will make up for the loss. Wonder what happened to those flies ... perhaps somebody was just very hungry? Who knows. 3:22:31 PM     |

Trading Places. Fantastic online exhibit at The British Library about trading in 1600 and the foundation of the East India Company. "Asia used to be known as "The East Indies". Pepper, spices, medicinal drugs, aromatic woods, perfumes and silks were rare commodities in Europe, and therefore valuable. Trading in them could make you a fortune. And for this chance many were willing to risk their lives." 9:22:10 AM     |

Johann Wolfgang von. Welcome to the Text Database of J. W. von Goethe and Thomas Mann. Amazing. Full text search of Goethe's Hamburg Edition in 14 volumes, the Weimar Edition in 50 volumes and Thomas Mann's collected works in 13 volumes. 9:03:55 AM     |

Tony's in trouble. Again. Union goes to war with Labour. Blair and cabinet branded "war criminals" by RMT rail union. [Guardian Unlimited] And Quarsan has an interesting entry about the Reverend and his attitude towards paedophilia... 8:43:20 AM     |
