and now for something completely different ...

Did you know that Cheloniae are much tougher than Octopodiae? They're capable of cracking nuts while Octopussies barely manage clams. And also it's an urban myth that they're so very intelligent - in truth they're only intelligent for invertebrates; amongst the vertebrates they'd be considered as dumb as an ass. I hope that's understood now.

(Oh, as for the photos, that's a bog in Lower Austrian Waldviertel.)

the finals

The Frog told me that the turtle is 'indisposed', on account of Paul the Octopus winning the bet - or so it seems (just a guess of mine, the Frog wouldn't comment.)

Oh, right, the match is not over yet - but in all fairness no other winner but Spain would be fair; the Dutch team played very dirty on occasion, and even though they've had their chances too she was quite pissed at them for playing so rude. (Me I don't mind that much - personally I'm only annoyed that none of the Dutch players received a red card; if this had happened the game would have finished differently for sure.)

So the match's not over as both teams seem to prefer going to overtime, and then possibly to a penalty shootout: but they can do so without my participation, I'm tired and I'll have to get up early for work tomorrow. So good night then, and please keep me updated on the outcome!
