THOSE PRACTICAL GERMANS

always making up long words that precisely describe a given phenomenon. Here's a great example:
"There are a few more interesting German words such as 'handschuhschneeballwerfer', which means somebody, who wears gloves to throw snow balls. It is used in general for all cowards."


"handschuhschneeballwerfer" I need to figure out how to work that word into one of my next lectures!

CARNIVAL OF ASIAN HISTORY BLOGGING

sounds like a good idea to me. Kudos for Jonathan Dresner for starting it up. For more info and to make submissions, see here. The entrance requirements are quite generous:
You do not have to be Asian, an historian, or a carny (you do have to be a blogger, at least once); all you have to do is blog about Asian history.
