The one and only permissible W Joke.

I have been swamped in the last few days with E-mails from oh-so-funny people advising me to type the word “failure” in Google and klick on “I’m feeling lucky.” The result is neither funny nor new. People first got on my nerves with it back in 2002. So, once and for all, I am making [...]

Luck favors the Bold.

This is pure euphoria! Alemannia Aachen beat direct rival Paderborn 2:1, advancing – at least temporarily – to third place, which in the end would allow relegation to the Bundesliga. Once again, Alemannia scored the decisive goal very late in the game. It seems that this season “we” have all the luck one needs to [...]
