Picture of the months:

November 2007 - April 2008:   Car drivers know the problem with middlesome bikers on the street that pass while the motorists are stuck in the traffic jam. Obviosuly, there are some solution on such "problem" (see left). This seems to be a great way to avoid too many bikers on the street. And the bikes (and bikers) get cleaned too.       Note: Its coking, in fact we need to thank each individual biker to use the bike instead of using a car. So,   THANK YOU, BIKERS!

 

August - October 2007:

August - October 2007:   This months we would like to share with you two picts that were from wfg's recent trip to the US for the Gordon Research Conference on Calcium Signaling in Tilton, NH, USA.   Pict #1: A majestic and peaceful farewell from one of the most beautiful creature on earth: a whale. The pict was taken on a whale watch tour from Boston harbor. I (wfg) will never forget the peaceful and beautiful dignity of these animals that left me behind more quiet and calm wondering whether we have the right to disturbe them in their endless journey.           Pict#2: ok, you might remember that I (wfg) am "slightly" (that's a joke) addicted to Macs. Of course I was among the first Europeans who got a hand on an iPhone! Look how happy I am ….. By the way, sorry for the bad quality of the picts but they were made by a simpl phone - not the iPhone yet ;-)

February, March & April 2007:

February, March & April 2007:   You may have experienced it already. You just have to do some additional experiments until your great fantastic and world-braking hypothesis will be approved… Well, we all know that just these experiments are not working and we desperately wonder why. Perhaps here is the answer that you may consider….   ....click the image left to get an answer you may not have thought on so far.     NOTE: Not everything on this page is necessarily true – ok!

 

January 2007:

January 2007: HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you. May the world become 2007 a more peaceful place where mankind finally understands that its time to respect nature. Let's start to appreciate that we do not own this beautiful planet but borrowed it from upcoming generations.               MAUD FRIEDEN, SERGE ARNAUDEAU and WFG having a hard day thinking on Ca2+ cycling in the Swiss Alps (Zermatt) Please see below how you can train yourself for the skiing season...

 

Skiing season training Ski season is almost here! Hence, the following list of Exercises to get you prepared:
1. Visit your local butcher and pay €30 to sit in the walk-in freezer for a half an hour. Afterwards, burn two €50 dollar bills to warm up.
2. Soak your gloves and store them in the freezer after every use.
3. Fasten a small, wide rubber band around the top half of your head before you go to bed each night.
4. If you wear glasses, begin wearing them with glue smeared on the lenses.
5. Throw away a hundred dollar bill-now.
6. Find the nearest ice rink and walk across the ice 20 times in your ski boots carrying two pairs of skis, accessory bag and poles. Pretend you are looking for your car. Sporadically drop things.
7. Place a small but angular pebble in your shoes, line them with crushed ice, and then tighten a C-clamp around your toes.
8. Buy a new pair of gloves and immediately throw one away.
9. Secure one of your ankles to a bed post and ask a friend to run into you at high speed.
10. Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $8.50 for a hamburger. Be sure you are in the longest line.
11. Clip a lift ticket to the zipper of your jacket and ride a motorcycle fast enough to make the ticket lacerate your face.
12. Drive slowly for five hours - anywhere - as long as it's in a snowstorm and you're following an 18 wheeler.
13. Fill a blender with ice, hit the pulse button and let the spray blast your face. Leave the ice on your face until it melts. Let it drip into your clothes.
14. Dress up in as many clothes as you can and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom.
15. Slam your thumb in a car door. Don't go see a doctor.
16. Repeat all of the above every Saturday and Sunday until it's time for the real thing!
