Fun with German (spelling optional)
Rollentreppe
--Rolling steps, ie, escalator.
Schmetterling
--thing to step on, ie, butterfly. (that's the definition my Hubby always told me, but I figure it's more "thing that looks like it's been stepped on" from how it looks when the wings are opened. Hubby's birth language is German, because his military family moved to Germany when he was 3 days old, and the family was told to speak German as much as possible so they could blend in, since it was the height of the Cold War. He remembers hiding under a car with his little sister and watching tanks rolling by when the Berlin Wall went up)

Well, and under my name.
I love German. I don't speak it, but I remember when my college roommate was taking it. A lot of words are just a bunch of words strung together. It's amusing.
Timelies all!
Am amused by the nifty (though hard to pronounce) German words.

No, see like the Germans might call an alarm clock, derclockthatsoundsanaudiblealarm, only... you know...in German.
There are no fucking words.

Hahahahahaha.
It's got to be joke. (p.s. Memo to CBS-- it's "its response", not "it's response.") No. Not a joke? *sigh*
Solar powered handbag:
The handbag, dubbed Sun Trap, uses a solar cell attached to the outside of the bag to trap energy from sunlight.
The energy is stored in an internal battery which lights up the lining.
The lining is made from an electroluminescent material similar to that found in mobile phones and is lit up by the bag's zip which acts as a switch.
I hope there's a way to stop this happening in movie theatres.
