It's all coming together...
Three exams down, two to go.
Lost luggage has been returned to owner *pheu*.
Computer is still broken, but I am thinking about buying a new one. Maybe an Apple, Gwyneth Paltrow named her child that... and if it is good enough for Gwyneth it's good enough for me! Generous donations will certainly speed the process along ;)
I miss blogging, I miss you guys and things will be set in motion once this darn exam period is behind us.
Also, Kermit is cute!

A quick update...
Life is wonderful. I have had my first practical experience at a hospital and it was wonderful, albeit very messy at times.
Spring is in the air, my heart and at the soles of my feet.
I had the pleasure of meeting Terry and her other half and would like to seize the opportunity and send out my regards and thanks for a wonderful time.
The only thing bugging me right now is my non-compliant brother who has no time to fix and even more non-compliant computer.
Rest assured I will be back!

Guys,
due to reasons beyond my technologically challenged mind, I have problems accessing any blogspot-sites these days. My brother had the clever idea of switching servers and with it: switched my access. He has promised to fix this problem in the near future and he better...if he expects to have one :)
I miss you lot.
This too shall pass. If I end in jail...please do send letters!

Thursday Brain Teaser
Pre-natal screening, genetically engineered foods, the ability to identify human remains and the testing of physical evidence ... all these extraordinary techniques owe their evolution to the groundbraking discovery depicted above, exactly 55 years ago today. Name the two Cambridge scientists, discovering the structure of the recipe for you and me.
HINT in the comment section, don't be shy!

It's gotta be Icelandic!
You know what, I used to think that for those who really want to quit smoking, a trip to Iceland would come in handy. Try lighting your smoke in these winds with your fingers freezing and you'll know what I am talking about. Since last year smoking inside pubs and restaurants has been forbidden here in Iceland and silly me figured a lot of people would just quit. Silly me!
A snow house for smokers in the north western part of Iceland.
The smoking ban seems to have the greatest impact on owners of pubs and restaurants. Clients, especially during winter just stay home -which I think is not that bad a thing- over the weekends and smoke there. It's tough braving Icelandic weather with a smokey habit.
One owner decided to use all the snow outside his front door, shove it together and make a snowhouse outside his establishment. It took one day to build. Inside there are chairs and candles and two chimneys. Now our dare-devils can light up and not be blown away by wind, or moved to the emergency room with second-degree burns.
You gotta give the guy (Erik Newman) credit for such warm imagination in such a cold reality.
