Links of the Week III

Hope you enjoy this week's links...

German:
Proben für einen Spaziergang auf dem Mars
Was die Holländer so alles werfen...
So was geht auch nur in Amerika...

English:
Once a year, the president of the US proves he's also funny
The most amazing basketball shot you will ever see!
The "Jetman" flies over Rio de Janeiro

Quote of the Week:

Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts... they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun, but there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric.

(a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay,
quoted by Neil Postman in his article Science and the Story That We Need)
