Call me a gooey romantic, but I hope to one day propose to my own significant other in a similarly significant way. They're both big photography fanatics and hikers, so it makes sense for them.

Good to know, Est.

Well, I am back after a visit with my aunt.

Try reading something by António Egas Moniz it is guaranteed to make you hate the Portuguese.

How that idiot won a Nobel prize in 1949..is astoundingly beyond me. I think the only reason they didn't revoke it is because they didn't want to hurt Portugal's pride toward its only Nobel prize winner.

It might suggest why there hasn't been another Portuguese to have won the Nobel Prize.

No, then we're talking about Neo-Nazis. Disney stopped sometime during the Second World War.

Still, having pride in a guy who bored holes into your skull, and seriously thought Alcohol poured into the exposed brain would treat mental illness is madness.

Although it would make a great comedy if it weren't so horrific.

I wonder how do you germans take mein kampf ?

We don't. The copyright won't run out until next year, so the only copies around are for research or historical collecting.

Anyway, Hitler had a rather darwinist approach to management, which was grossly inefficient to say the least.

Damn shame..one state is in our way to getting such low priced gas.

I'm hoping to see it below a dollar...I haven't seen it that low since I was little. The lowest I remember seeing gas was for 87 cents in the 90s.

Hitler liked to micro manage things not a good manager but I still would like to read his book, but people really like his book for management, not knowing that this man wanted to shoot gandhi

He's more of a guide on how not to manage.

He had a horribly inefficient and ineffective bureaucracy under his power.

It was efficient as a trickle down of orders throughout the chain of command, but their actions at the lower rungs was inefficient

As a history graduate it interests me to know what a person is like and how that impacted their decisions. Hitler is one of those people every historian in America wants to analyze to understand WW2 so we get the book.

We kind of have a fetish with the guy, to be accurate.

Just about gave myself nicotine poisoning today. I got an e-cig from a guy I work with this morning, and the vial that contains the liquid came unscrewed in my pocket somehow and the whole thing dumped into my pocket, I got the strongest buzz I've ever gotten, even more than the first time I ever smoked. Scared me shitless.

On another, completely unrelated note, I just got a new idea for a drinking game. Where can I get those capsules?

Any tobacco store. But seriously I barely got a fraction of the dose I could've. It had to soak through my pants pocket, through the sweat pants I had under that and my boxers to give me that strong of a buzz. You will kill yourself if you drink that shit.
