  5. Dominus vobiscum and the Latin Mass are making a comeback. The traditional Mass in the ancient language that once mesmerized Catholics and mystified non-Catholics may be easier to find on a Sunday morning under a ruling expected soon from Pope Benedict XVI. The pope's "indult" would allow the Tridentine Mass, as the Latin Mass is called, to be celebrated without special permission. via Palm Beach Post cheers viggen

  7. I hate spellchecks. I always avoid them or disable them. Does anyone else agree with me? When those little red lines come up I find myself saying either I knew that already! I was just going to change it! Don't interfere! or You're wrong! You don't understand. I really mean this! I suppose the answer is that I suffer from a severe form of hubris. hehe, remember not everyone here is a grammar guru or linguist! cheers viggen

  12. A "Tower of Babel" device that gives the illusion of being bilingual is being developed by US scientists. Users simply have to silently mouth a word in their own language for it to be translated and read out in another... via BBC Now that would be a neat gadget if it should work... cheers viggen
  13. hehe, i will try not to get thirsty Andrew! btw. another feature of this beer i havent mentioned, is that no extra sparkle is added, all natural, so it is not so fizzy then a normal beer and has a more rounded taste. Vollmond (Luna) is the name because it is only brewed at full moon... cheers viggen

  17. ...remember everyone in the USA was at one point an immigrant... ...wasn`t the Irish (in the eyes of the US citizens) the scum of the earth just a hundred and fifty years ago? For more info on the wave of Irish immigration there is an interesting book available How the Irish Became White ...about Europe, don`t worry, we survived the last 3000 years and are doing just fine, we have our ups and downs, but created the western civilzation in the process, and don`t forget YOU Mr. NorthAmerica are an offspring of Europe... cheers viggen
  18. http://www.lavabraeu.at/exportdeutsch/sorten.htm The beer for the connoisseur from Austria, All the beers are not carbonated but use only own natural gas. All brewed by strict bio regulations from Austria. The left one Rossa is made only of biological grown malt (dark beer). The middle one Purezza, is MET (honey brew) and the right one (cool touch i believe) Luna is only brewed at full moon... cheers viggen <advertising>My ount happens to be the distributor of this beer, so if anyone is interested, let me know</advertising>

  23. One of the most beautiful and infamous treasure hoards of the 20th century, 14 pieces of Roman-era silver of staggering quality, will resurface today on display in London, to the consternation of leading archaeologists who regard it as archaeological loot. Although Bonhams auction house, which will display the Sevso Hoard, insists no sale is planned, the Marquess of Northampton who bought the silver for an undisclosed sum in the 1980s recently said he "hopes" the silver will be sold, and that it has "cursed" his family. It now belongs to a trust he founded. full article at the Guardian
