You are standing in the bathroom brushing your teeth. All of the sudden the door opens and your roommate’s girlfriend stands in the door. She: “oh, eh sorry, I…” You: “Oh, eh, sorry, eugh, fliggehmpf…”

Everybody knows this situation or at least one of that kind. Everyday life situations where surpringly few people actually know what to say. Because of the unexpectedness you’re in a rush to say at least something, because to say nothing would be even more awkward. And after you brought a fliggehmpf out and the moment has passed you bang your head against your inner wall. You know, you could at least have stopped after the sorry…

If anyone would like to share his expieriences with No-proper-phrase-comes-to-mind-situations, please feel free to leave a comment!

In season 2 of Star Trek The next Generation a new alien race gets introduced: The Borg.
The borg are of humanoid nature but developed a way to connect artificial components with their body. Individuality is given up to reach the perfect collective action. If you don’t know the borg, you can read more about them here.

I couldn’t help but wonder: Could the borg be a preview of our future?

More and more our lives are influenced by technology and also by optimizing the human body. Are cardiac pacemakers and hearing aids just the beginning? The opportunities are growing. How long will it be until we start replacing our eyes with electronic seeing devices? Is the vision of the bionic man nearer than we think?

Soon we won’t have to use passports or creditcards, everything will be provided through our fingerprint. How soon until we no longer have to make decisions on our own, to live our lives for us? Will the collective thinking be the way out of the world’s misery?

Let me know what you think!

After everyone going crazy about texas hold’em lately (at least in Germany), I guess the next big gambling-hype is just around the corner. So I went there to have a look at it…..Ladys and Gentlemen, please make your bets…..ROULETTE!
I discovered that Roulette has the best qualities to become the next hip thing: the thrill, the style and the belief you had in fact influence in winning.

So for all you people starting to play roulette, I will present my best tips for rookies!

• Start with simple chances (like black/red) for a quick feeling of success
• 0 (zero) is almost everytime followed by a black number
• if you don’t feel your luck, switch table
• if you feel your luck, but you’re not winning, go home
• only take a certain amount of money with you and leave your creditcards at home
• if another person at your table often wins, try betting the same numbers – either you win too, or at least the other sucker doesn’t win anymore…
• bet on two dozens as your backup, so you don’t lose too much too quick

and last but not least…

• always remember your bets!
