Attention meets whore next door. There is a sign that reads
Beware of attention!
Attention: Why does your sign say “Beware of attention”?
Whore: Because attentions are mean.
Attention: Take it down or I’ll beat you with it!
Whore: See?

For some cooling air flow, may I suggest to visit Kühle Brise by Kochwerkstatt (German only), a blog and more with lots of cOOl and hot cOOking recipes provided by Karsten Kuhnen.
We got a postcard. Many thanks to eb!
“Lug” has several meanings. Amongst them are in German to look and lies, in English a god, a fool, a worm, a handle, a sail, and to drag and to stuff.
The portal of the St. Marx cemetery (Friedhof St. Marx) shows a hexagram, well known as Star of David. Yet, I was told that this hexagram was (and still is) not meant as a Jewish symbol.
Interestingly, a number of gravestones there show six-pointed stars which some consider variations of hexagrams. Though, I found one engraving showing a six-pointed star within a hexagram.
What is part of a symbol?
One of Heinz von Foerster’s favorite symbols was the Ouroboros. (Von Foerster often used a variation where 2 snakes devour each other’s tail.)
At the St. Marx cemetery some gravestones carry Ouroboros, many with an arrow pointing from left to right.
Are symbols just symbols?
I vividly feel as if I was an Ouroboros on fire.
If I say I am not a liar and I am, well then I am a liar. If I say I am a liar and I am not, well then I am a liar. How can anyone tell if I am a liar or not?
What is your answer?
I love libraries. They make me rethink more than twice what I am writing and whether I want to publish it.
According to a recent report by Technorati they alone are tracking “about 1.2 million new blog posts each day”, that’s 50’000 postings per hour. More so, Technorati “currently tracks over 75’000 new weblogs created every day, which means that on average, a new weblog is created every second of every day”. That was in February 2006, but the blogosphere grows at a “quickening pace”.
