They’re also allowed in museums here. Well, in this one here in Berlin they are. For a limited time only.
It’s only right once you consider the name of the exhibition: „Wir kommen auf den Hund“ or “we’re going to the dogs.”
„Ein Gag ist das nicht.”

Is This A Polar Bear Panda-emic?
I’m not koala-fied to say.
But I think I’ll have a kodiak arrest if I have to look at anymore photos of Germans posing with polar bears.
Do you get this? Me, neither. But I think I understand this Knut thing a little better now, at least.
Historical Monstrosities Historical Monuments
We’re so ugly we’re beautiful.
What few in 1989 wanted was the supposedly dumpy, chronically unfashionable late-1960s buildings around Alexanderplatz, relics of a defunct, unlovable regime that were perceived as having little or no architectural value.
So that’s precisely what we all just got.
The monuments are certainly far from the worst constructions of their time. Best known and most popular is the World Clock, a kitschy but delightful sculpture-cum-timepiece created in 1969 that has long been a popular meeting spot for locals.
2 Intellectual 4 Me
Nope, this latest Spiegel cover is not what I would call “defamatory or racist.” It’s just particularly stupid. But everybody seems to be having hurt feelings about it and calling each other names because of it and stuff like that, which always warms my heart. So keep running with it, folks.
“Our Greeks – Taking a closer look at a strange people.” Takes one to know one, I guess.
And always remember: “Spiegel readers know more” (one of the magazine’s more popular slogans). And they also love to look down their noses at people who read the Bildzeitung, for instance. There is a big difference, you see? Me, neither.

At Last!
Fashion for the rest of us. At Berlin fashion Week. Wear else?
And speaking of aliens…
Angela Merkel FORCED to release secret UFO files German government fought to withhold – ALIEN investigators hope the release of German government files on historical UFO sightings will be a milestone in their quest for evidence of extra terrestrial life (when they write ALIEN investigators here they don’t actually mean ALIEN investigators, they mean alien INVESTIGATORS – I think).
“One thing is certain they won’t reveal any secrets about hidden alien technology or alien bodies, but then again we can always hope.”
Call Of Duty Gamer Accidentally Takes Over German Missile Battery
Or he’s just that good. Apparently the same guy who ruined the Bundestag’s computer network last month, an overzealous German Call of Duty gamer has now managed to get a German Patriot missile battery stationed in Turkey to carry out several strange and “unexplained” orders.
One of them was for pizza, too, I bet.
“I don’t think it’s actually happened, which is not to say that some of these systems are not hackable in some way. It is possible in some way perhaps to detect the presence of it, but anything more than that is going to take some serious skills.”
Greeks Apologize And To Pay Back All Debts Tomorrow
The nation of Greece said sorry to the European Union with a present of an enormous wooden horse.
Left outside the European Central Bank in the dead of night, the horse has now been moved into the ECB’s central lobby where it is proudly on display.
A gift tag attached to the horse, which is surprisingly light for its size and has small holes along the length of its body, suggested that it should be placed in the bank’s vaults overnight to avoid it being targeted by thieves…
Oddly, Greek representatives in Brussels have hinted that they may soon be in a position to settle their debts and have puzzled the French and German banks that hold their loans by asking if there is any discount for cash.

German Of The Day: Hand Over The Money Or I’ll Shoot!
And here you thought that Germans didn’t have a sense of humor. Galgenhumor (gallows humor), OK, but humor all the same.
Public broadcaster ARD, in its Morgenmagazin breakfast show, lampooned the tit-for-tat battle that has ensued between German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble and Greek counterpart Yanis Varoufakis, 54, in a video clip based on the 2011 French film The Intouchables, depicting the unlikely friendship between a wealthy quadriplegic and his African carer. Schaeuble, 72, has been confined to a wheelchair since he was shot by a deranged man in 1990.
Grexit: Bad Attitude In A Can
German entrepreneur Uwe Dahlhoff has trademarked the term “Grexit” — used to refer to the possible Greek exit from the eurozone — and plans to use it to market a new vodka drink.
The drink itself is sour — vodka mixed with lemons.
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
