Happy Birthday, Dear Rembrants,
Happy Birthday to you, tatata!

(I believe the cake was delicous. Rembrants's masterpiece used to be its topping)

Thought of a day: when it comes to animals ..

I feel calm when I see pictures or news about fire anywhere. To be honest, I don't care.

But when it comes to animals ...

Incinerated Turtle - Fire in Stamata, Athens.

Pitiful. Scary. Sad.

London Under Water

When I saw this I though: WOW! Then I read the story and once again I thought: WOW!

(I copied a picture from this page on NoComment News)

Well, the story is as follows:

Whilst this picture may be from the imagination of Richard Doyle, after the events of previous weeks throughout England it may not be that far from reality. With this year having been the wettest Summer on record more than 387mm (15.2in) of rain fell in England and Wales. This compounds research from Newcastle University last year which suggested that rain intensity has doubled in the UK over the last 40 years due to climate change.The image depicts iconic central London landmarks such as the Houses of Parliment and the London Eye essentially in the Thames. The image is from the aptly named film "Flood" which will be released in August.

(I want to thank How To Save Energy Blog reported to be the source of the story).

Now I'm seriously thinking of the first things to do if there's water in your house. Any ideas, dear readers?

Floods in the UK - citizen pictures of latest news

I personally believe that mass media make scandal of any happening they cover. This is what happened to Floods in the UK. Well, yes, it looked wet. And flooding was in the houses. But people are still content with their lives and water has gone. Aren't they?

(NoComment News issued a special report of Floods in UK: it's worth seeing. )

PS if you think it lacks accuracy, you've been there and everything was much worse ... Why wouldn't you show these floods through your eyes? Submit photos to NoComment News.

Tour de France - Christian Moreni

In case you follow Tour de France, here are the pictures of how gendarmes arrested Itallian Christian Moreni. Moreni tested positive for testosterone after stage 11 of the Tour last Thursday. Ironically, he was among the racers who protested today by delaying the start of Stage 16.
