This is just precious: Plastic coat sales
boom for lambs, but this is not: Multi-coloured
chicks for Easter.I can't help it - this just cracks me up: Bergman
'depressed' by own films
Eep! Peru
mudslides hit Machu Picchu
This is a fascinating idea: Space
Celebration Circles Globe. It's called Yuri's Night, and the point is
intriguing:
"centuries from now, it may be one of only a few earthborn
anniversaries to be celebrated by off-world humanity." Space engineer and
historian James Oberg wrote a landmark article, "Celebrating Gagarin's
Anniversary", for the 8-14 April 1991 issue of Space News. The piece,
written for the 30th anniversary of Vostok 1, is a brilliant reminder of
the importance of 12 April and rings equally true, if not more so,
today.This is outrageous! Easter
bunny's torture scenes upset children. I can think of a hundred MUCH
BETTER ways of getting the message across that Easter is a religious
observance than by traumatizing small children.
