Third Generation - Take three women all of whom have grandfathers who were in Germany around 1939 (one was Jewish, one was a Nazi and one was a Tourist) and get them to comment on their own and each other's photo albums from the period. Interesting insights and very thought-provoking.

huh? - brilliant parody of those meaningless "e-solutions" sites (and for some of my co-workers it hits a little too close to home)

(it's been quiet I know) Thought for the Day :

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word "service". "The act of doing things for other people."

Then I heard the terms such as "Internal Revenue Service," "Postal Service," "Civil Service," "Service Stations."

And I became confused about the word "service." This is not what I thought "service" meant.

One day, I overheard two farmers talking and one of them mentioned that he was having a bull "service" a few of his cows.

It all came into perspective.

San Francisco Man Becomes First American To Grasp Significance Of Irony

SAN FRANCISCO - Jay Fullmer, 38, yesterday became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony. 'It was weird' Fullmer said. 'I was in London and, like, talking to this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said, 'great weather eh?' and I thought 'Wait a minute, no way is it great weather'. Fullmer then realised that the other man's 'mistake' was in fact deliberate.

Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, plans to use irony himself in future. 'I'm like using it all the time.' he said. 'Last weekend I was grilling steaks and I burned them to a crisp and I said 'hey, great weather'
