Astafest, Alcohol, and Bearing Frogs

Well, as the first word of the title suggest, tomorrow the Asta Sommerfest is being held at the Uni Mainz. Get your glad rags on, bring a bottle (or two, three, four...) and let's dance.

On the subject of alcohol, according to a new study, women's bones become harder through the consumption of alcohol. Now what are you waiting for, what a great excuse to let it all go tomorrow...

Now on to something really weird. An iranian woman has apparantly given birth to a frog. Yes, you read right, a frog. Now they can't really claim to have no nuclear bases around where she lives.

Something serious now, in Mexico City, hundreds of thousands of people have demonstrated against the relentless kidnappings going on. And these are not just people who usually protest, but normal workers with families that are fed up with the corruption and state ignorance. Let's hope the government finally does something about it.

A quick aside, just to mention that the Johannesnacht fireworks were held in Mainz earlier this week. I didn't want to say more, but I think I should make clear that if comparing them with the likes of those of the Fallas in Valencia, they're about as similar as the German language is to Spanish. I say no more.

Well, I'm going to get myself prepared for tomorrow.

Party hard
