Last German World War I veteran dies

APJanuary 25, 2008

BERLIN (AP) - A man believed to have been Germany's last World War I veteran is dead.

The veteran (Erich Kaestner) died in a nursing home in Cologne on the first of the month, according to his son. He was 107.

The death almost went unnoticed, as Germany doesn't keep track of World War I veterans.

The country lost both world wars and has had to deal with the shame of the Nazi genocide for six decades. The veteran's son says there's not much talk about such matters in the nation.

The veteran had been sent to the Western Front to fight in France, but never fought on the front lines. He later rejoined the military in 1939 for the Second World War, and became a judge when that conflict ended.

His son says his father's service in the first war was only a small part of his long life -- not more than a half a year.

He says people had sent his father letters asking for his autograph in recent years, but that he didn't answer because he didn't want to.

The Game is on, and YOU'RE IT!


Describe me in one word... just one single word. Send it to me (PM). Then send this message to all your friends and see how many strange and interesting things they say about you. This is really fun.

The GAME is ON!!!

The recent hurricanes and gasoline issues are proof of
the existence of a new chemical element. A major
research institution has recently announced the
discovery in 2007 of the heaviest element yet known
to science. The new element has been named
Governmentium. Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25
assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198
assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of
312. These 312 particles are held together by forces
called morons, which are surrounded by vast
quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.
However, it can be detected, because it impedes every
reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute
amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that
would normally take less than a second to take over
four days to complete. Governmentium has a normal
half-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead
undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the
assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange
places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually
increase over time, since each reorganization will
cause more morons to become neutrons, forming
isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some
scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed
whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This
hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical
morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes
Administratium -- an element which radiates just as
much energy as Governmentium since it has half as
many peons but twice as many morons.

HELLO THERE

A joyous day 29 years ago Happy Birthday honey.

Friday looks good for catching owls mom. I hope you capture a million birds for Owlfest.

Autumn Serenity

The touch of color scattered into the trees coupled with the early morning chill signal the end of another season.

As I look high up into the sky the birds are making their way southward early this year and I wonder at the reason.

The moth is full and wooly which they say will show that the winter will be harsh and the snow will swirl around us too soon it may seem.

But for now I enjoy the cool breath of the wind upon my cheek that brushes my hair softly across my eyes as I enjoy the remaining green.

Soon enough the brilliant colors of autumn will fill the land as the leaves give us their annual beauty pageant competing with the falling sun.

The sunlight as it slowly slides below the horizon seems to catch the leaves full of fire as though they together are one.

My friends in the far north tell me of the beauty of the Aurora as it dances through the sky in a symphony of light each night.

I have not seen that symphony but I have seen the one that surrounds us with brilliant light as the leaves dance on the wind and it is a beautiful sight.

The falling leaves fill the ground with their colors which quickly fade so they must be enjoyed at the moment as you see them fall from the tree.

Catching them at the moment where they fall in the wind and fill the air with beauty takes my breath away and my heart feels so free.

Each season has its own special beauty but Autumn has always captured my heart in its own special way because it seems to fulfill the destiny of the land.

The brilliant colors are singing their symphony to show us that they have beauty as they fall before they turn dull and gray and fade away as only they can.



Love Always, AJE enjoy your last day of summer for 2007.
