POPULISTEN IN ÖSTERREICH - Wahlkampf mit Wachteleiern
Populismus pur in Österreich: Während Haider und Co. am rechten Rand um die Stimmen der Frustrierten buhlen, will der Spitzenkandidat der SPÖ die Wähler mit einem kuriosen Alles-wird-besser-Paket erobern - und es noch vor der Wahl durchs Parlament absegnen lassen.
Das österreichische Parlament an der Wiener Ringstraße ist ein herrschaftliches Gebäude, der Aufgang pompös, mächtige Säulen prägen die Front - ein Meisterwerk klassizistischer Architektur. Vor dem kolossalen Bau steht ein nicht minder monumentaler Brunnen, gewidmet ist er der Pallas Athene, der Göttin der Weisheit.

Scenes from India
India is home to over 1.2 billion people of wildly varying religions, cultures and levels of wealth. Only 61 years since declaring its Independence from English rule, modern India is still defining itself, sometimes against the friction inside and outside of its borders. Recent newsworthy events in India include vast Monsoon flooding, conflicts in still-disputed Kashmir, and religious clashes between Hindus and Christians - and celebrations conducted by Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh and more. Though there's no possible way for these images to be comprehensive, here are some recent photos of scenes in India. (34 photos total)

All About Mr. Elephant, in His Becoming Green Suit
What does the “very rich Old Lady” see in Babar the elephant? What, for that matter, do we see in him? Something appealing surely, even if we would not follow her example and give him a full purse to go shopping for a suit of a “becoming shade of green,” or do calisthenics with him or buy him a red roadster.

Elephant Appreciation Day
WHAT? Elephant Appreciation Day was declared beginning in 1996 by Mission Media to celebrate the Elephant because...
* is the largest land mammal of our era,
* is unique among mammals for its trunk,
* is the most noble of beasts on earth,
* is most undeservedly threatened with extinction,
* has been man's benefactor in numerous ways throughout history,
* is entertaining and amusing,
* is gentle and friendly,
* contributes to ecosystem development and maintenance,
and generally deserves to be appreciated and upheld as an example of courage, strength, self-reliance, patience, persistence, and general high quality of being.

Masturbating elephants for science
MASTURBATING an elephant in the cause of science isn’t an easy job ? just ask wildlife expert Dr Thomas Hildebrandt.
Just touching a jumbo penis ? they measure more than 1.5metres when aroused ? can have painful consequences as German scientist Dr Hildebrandt reveals.
He said: “One guy I know got a black eye from being hit by an elephant’s penis.
“When you touch an elephant there it starts to flick backwards and forwards and it’s so strong it can knock you off your feet. It’s such a strong movement.”

Scan Toaster Brings You Internet On Toast
The Scan Toaster isn’t the first toast printer we’ve come across, but it is (as far as I know) the first internet-enabled toasting printing appliance. It sounds like a bit of a gimmick, but think about it… If you’re the sort of person who likes to devour the news in the morning, you can set up the Scan Toaster to toast you an RSS feed of news headlines.
