Weisheiten fürs Poesiealbum
KÜBLBÖCK MEETS KERNER


Und endlich lief Daniel Küblböck ins Studio, einer der letzten drei Kandidaten in der "RTL"-Supererfolgsshow "Deutschland sucht den Superstar". Er war tadellos gekleidet in braunem Anzug und T-Shirt, was darauf hindeutet, dass dieses Mal nicht die "Superstar"-Stylisten das Outfit ausgesucht hatten, sondern entweder Küblböck selbst oder das "Kerner"-Personal. Küblböck schüttelte zunächst allen Gästen artig die Hand, strahlte wie immer euphorisch und bat Kerner, ihn zu duzen - ein Angebot, das der Moderator mit den Worten "ich bin ein alter Sack" annahm.

Voice On Bin Laden Tape Calls Bush Stupid


An audiotape said to be the voice of Osama bin Laden is calling President Bush "stupid."

And it says American war plans against Iraq are part of a plot to attack other Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

The tape appears to be the same recording excerpted last week by an Islamic Al Ansaar news agency.

The tape has begun appearing in full today on Islamic-oriented Web sites. The British-based news agency says it acquired the tape from a seller who advertised it over the Internet.

2003 IS ANOTHER Y2K FOR SURVIVAL GEAR SALES


At hardware stores and survivalist supply shops like The Survival Shack in Horse Branch, Arkansas, the shelves have been picked clean. We spoke to Clem Riley, an employee of The Survival Shack. "Hooey! we're making so much money. When Y2K came and went and nothing ever did happen, we thought we were going to have to close. Only the nutbars with cabins up in the woods were buying our stuff. That started to change after 9/11, but everything really took off thanks to Tom Ridge. It's bigger than 1999. We're going to be rich!"

Graffiti Space Trap Tested


Psssst, wanna catch a tagger?

Satellites and super-sensitive sensors are now tuned to the sibilant hiss of spray cans in a space-age effort to eradicate one of the oldest and most persistent urban problems -- graffiti.

TaggerTrap, a graffiti eradication system being tested in several California cities, uses global positioning system technology, cell phones and sensors that recognize the ultrasonic pitch of spray cans to alert police when vandals begin their work, representatives said.

The next tech toy: X-ray cameras


Developers predict consumer version could hit market in five years. Voyeurs take note: a portable, cheap camera that can see through objects and clothing may be available for sale to common folk in as little as five years, say British-based space researchers.

The camera, built by a European Space Agency-funded team working at a lab in central England, could one day be used to find skin cancer or hidden weapons, reveal wounds beneath animal fur or bandages, spot forged works of art, even pierce through fog.

UN Documents German Firms Who did business with Iraq


Iraq's arms report to the United Nations shows that more than 80 German companies have done business with Baghdad since the 1970s and that some have contravened a UN embargo, according to a German newspaper. In its Tuesday edition, the daily Tageszeitung said that the companies included public and private research laboratories and firms which supplied whole systems or components for weapons of mass destruction. Citing what it claimed were parts of the report, the newspaper said some of the 86 companies that had been doing business in Iraq since around 1975 had continued to do so at least up until 2001.
