Fake.

Chameleons don't change colour for camoflage.
They do it according to mood, how randy they are, or if they want to fight other chameleons.
And i got a bit annoyed with the bloke tripping up the chameleon with his hipster glasses collection.

I think the thing we should worry about is how the kitty lost it's paws in a fucking combine harvester.

What was the silly fucker doing, laying on it's back with it's paws in the air?

Am I going to find a set of dried, sugar coated paws in my Golden Grahams?

We should be told.

from here, experimental surgery can cross over to human medicine ? This is a good thing, if the cat dies it's ok. But at least they found out the procedure worked or not.
In this case, it would open doors to better prosthetic for amputees.

Mystery at the monastery ends as CCTV reveals chamber of secrets' daring thief

 Thursday  19 June 2003 02.24 BST                         

To the monks of Mont Saint-Odile, perched high in the Vosges mountains, it seemed like the work of the devil. During nearly two years of doubt and mystification, 1,100 ancient books disappeared from the monastery library without any trace of a break-in. Yesterday, in a court in Saverne, Alsace, the mystery reached its conclusion when the thief, Stanislas Gosse, 33, was given a suspended sentence of 18 months for a burglary that had echoes of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose and a touch of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The judge was told of a lost map, a secret passage and a hidden entrance through a cupboard, all finally revealed by routine modern technology - CCTV cameras.
But the thief, who baffled priests and detectives between August 2000 and May 2002, said he was driven by pure passion for the priceless books, filling his little Strasbourg flat with massive volumes dating back to the XVth century. Some, with wooden covers and weighing several kilos, he had carried off on his bicycle.
Gosse, a teacher at a Strasbourg engineering school and a former naval officer, faced a rare charge of "burglary by ruse and escalade", a reference to the tortuous climb in and out of the locked library.
He had found the route after discovering a forgotten map in public archives which revealed the secret access from the monastery attic.
The map was a key exhibit in the trial. The attic, reached by a daring climb up exterior walls, led to a steep, narrow stairway and then the secret chamber. A hidden mechanism opened up the back of one of five cupboards in the library. The plans suggested that the secret route to the library, once the monastery's common room, served in medieval times to spy on the monks' conversations.
Inside the library, Gosse spent hours by candlelight picking out volumes, some of which he stored in the attic.
In an atmosphere of general suspicion among the nuns and monks of Mont Saint-Odile, the librarian, Alain Donius, called the police to report that entire shelves had been cleared. But though the locks were changed and the library door reinforced with steel, books continued to disappear at a steady rate during the police inquiry.
Gosse was so confident he left a rose on the main entrance door to tease Father Donius after a particularly successful visit. Gosse told the court: "I'm afraid my burning passion overrode my conscience. It may appear selfish, but I felt the books had been abandoned. They were covered with dust and pigeon droppings and I felt no one consulted them any more. There was also the thrill of adventure - I was very scared of being found out."
The mystery was finally solved when police installed a hidden video camera while the monks and nuns attended their Pentecost services. As night fell, the police watched Gosse fill three suitcases with books. They arrested him while he was still carrying the rope he needed to climb down the outer walls.
In his flat, they discovered he had, on some books, carefully covered up the monastery's bookplates with his own personal labels.
Gosse's counsel, Cathy Petit, said her client had taken great care of the books and even restored some of them. She requested he got a community service sentence to help the monks catalogue their treasures, but the judge added fines and damages of 17,000 euros (£11,835) to the suspended prison term.
The public prosecutor, Jean Dissler, said the archbishop of Strasbourg and Father Donius had forgiven Gosse and they wanted him to continue as a teacher, a request granted by the court. They have also told him he can come back to the library - but only through the front door.

awesome story. the last bit where the monastery librarian requested he keep his job as a teacher i found particularly inspiring and the fact he could come back, through the front door :D

awesome story.

Just after watching the match today i was serving a customer, they asked "do you know who won ?"
but before i could say anything, we were both distracted by a car came screaming past, people hanging out the windows shouting out loud with German flags in their hands.
So i said "there you go" before everyone started laughing.
Epic win = depressing situation made really funny.

We did a similar thing with soap during the art lessons at school.
It was many years ago when soap was a bit of luxury item (especially a nice one, not the brutal variety factory workers would use after their shift) and hard to get under the martial law in Poland in the early 80s.
Our crafty teacher asked us to make soap sculptures and then collected the artefacts to grade the effort. I don't need to add, that she's never returned our soap figurines.

Ration coupon (sugar, soap, butter, washing powder)

To get some nice stuff, you'd have to pay in dorrah.
Our stuff was as vile, as the things you can buy right now in bodegas in Cuba.
Like this toothpaste which was by the way the best stuff to polish cranks and stems

That is a cheeky move. My wife is a teacher here in Poland and it is a strange place to work. She came home yesterday(last day of school) with about 40 bunches of flowers and 20 boxes of chocolates. A complete waste, but what can you do.
When I was living with my BIL he used to make loads of Peveks jokes(shops you could buy 'special' items only with dollars) because I kept all my food in my bedroom in a locked cupboard to stop him from stealing it(habitual grazer!)
