Andrzej Dragan

Benstof is a young dude with a Pretoria accent who sings cool songs. George Weideman is an afrikaner poet. He was my high school Afrikaans teacher, way back in the 70's. This is a bit of both of them.

I've tried Yahoo, MySpace, blog24, mweb, multiply (not too bad but it's been banned here), and some others that are not even worth mentioning.

Elena Filatova lives in Kiev. She is in her early thirties, and she's not unattractive. But that is not what sets her apart from everyone else.

These are our Pyramids. The sarcophagus will remain radioactive for at least 100.000 years. The age for the pyramids of Egypt is 5,000 to 6,000 years. Each cultural epoch left something to humanity, something immortal, like Judaic epoch left us Bible, Greek culture- philosophy, Romans contributed law and we are leaving Sarcophagus, the construction that is going to outlive all other signs of our epoch and may last longer than the pyramids.




I'm not against nuclear power, I think it may be the only way forward. But we have to be very careful what we play with. Some of it bites.

Many would call her behaviour idiotic. I think she is a very brave girl.
