Happy Brickday, LEGO! 2008-01-28 10:01:00 The LEGO brick turns 50 today, January 28, 2008.The little plastic brick, which has meant something significant to millions of kids and grown-ups around the world, was founded in Denmark, in 1932, when the carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen began making wooden toys. The insignificant workshop began calling itself "LEGO", two years later, in 1934, and expanded to producing plastic toys in 1947. Two years later, LEGO began producing the now-famous interlocking bricks.OK, guys, If any of you have never played with LEGO, then go ahead and throw the first… brick at me! Read more:Happy
Feeling a little bit down 2008-01-25 16:27:00 I feel like Pluto, today: tiny, distant, cold, quiet and marginalized. I’m not really sure why, perhaps because it’s been a long week and I’ve been working like a dog (but not sleeping like a log!). But don’t worry, I'm determined to not let this make me break down. After all, an Apache is an Apache, right?I hope you guys have a damn good weekend! Read more:Feeling

Literally or metaphorically speaking? 2008-01-24 17:41:00 Sitting around the campfire, I was telling a fellow warrior how worried I was about the rise of the price of milk (by 15%) and that, from now on, I may not afford to buy the precious creamy white liquid to feed my pet (in the photo).- I don’t want to watch her slowly starve to death - I said.- Why don’t you eat her before she dies? - he suggested.

an capital Lhasa erupted in deadly violence, as security forces used gunfire to quell the biggest protests against Chinese rule. The protests, which spread outside Tibet into other areas of China, came amid a growing international campaign by Tibetans to challenge Beijing’s rule of the Himalayan region. Several people lost their lives and many others were injured."Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place," the Dalai Lama said, referring in part to ethnic Chinese immigration in Tibet and restrictions on Buddhist worship, which have generated deep resentment among Tibetans.The spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism also called on Beijing to "stop using force" and urged protesters “not to resort to violence in making demands of China

March, as it was called, ended shortly after noon at the foot of the Capitol steps, and as people from all over the nation stood facing the white-columned statehouse, Dr. King assured them:“Yes, we are on the move and no wave of racism can stop us. (Yes, sir) We are on the move now. The burning of our churches will not deter us. (Yes, sir) The bombing of our homes will not dissuade us. (Yes, sir) We are on the move now.

How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute - and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity." Albert Einstein Read more:Physics

What a wonderful world it would be! 2008-04-11 17:30:00 "So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.
