L'étoile Cet homme cheminait, le front bas, sur la plage, le long de l'océan. De temps en temps il se penchait, il ramassait au bord des vagues, sur le sable, on ne savait quoi et le jetait au loin dans l'eau. Un promeneur qui l'observait vint à lui, il le salua, puis : - Que faites-vous ? lui dit-il. - Vous le voyez, répondit l'autre, je rends à l'océan des étoiles de mer. La marée les a amenées, elles sont restées là, sur le sable, et je dois les remettre à l'eau, sinon c'est sûr,…

Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. So one day Farmer John called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens." "What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drive…

He put on the suit and he looked fabulous, he felt that in this suit he can do business. As he was preening himself in front of the mirror he reached down to put his hands in the pockets and to his surprise he noticed that there were no pockets. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "Didn't you…

Der Beginn des Jahres 2018 ist für mich der Beginn der Entdeckung einer neuen Welt. Eigentlich völlig undramatisch. Ich sehe sehr gut und scharf. Schon immer.

Dabei kooperieren beiden Augen nicht so richtig und das Gehirn muss die beiden unterschiedlichen Bilder, die auf die Netzhäute fallen, mühsam verrechnen. Man kann mit Augentraining das Sehen verbessern. Zum Beispiel mit einer Brock-Schnur. D…

Mit Katja die City von Frankfurt erkunden, mit Heidi durch die Berliner Lost-Places stiefeln, mit Sami skurrile Handybilder schießen, mit Gudrun zu den Nordlichtern reisen, Adrians wahnsinnige Insekten-Macros, Yvonnes brilliante Landschaften, Judith, die oft so ähnliche Einfälle hat wie ic…
