"Die Dinosaurier / werden immer trauriger / die armen Saurier / denn sie dürfen nicht an Bord ..." Das bekannte Lied von Lonzo ist nur eine von verschiedenen Theorien, die das Aussterben der Urzeitechsen zu erklären versuchen.

Spelled either with an "e" or "ä," they are more versatile than a chameleon and active not only as bridesmaids. Larches are often firmly rooted in the forest. Or, as skylarks

Even Monty Python would probably have been excited: "Always look on the Bright Side of Life", the popular sing-along number at football matches or funerals, could also be an expression of bright enthusiasm in Bremen these days.

Oh my Goethe! It's Friday and Morgan Freeman! And not far away, the Solling beckons. But beware: The extremely popular low mountain range in the Weserbergland is at extreme risk of a pandemic. No, it's not monkeypox that's rampant here. It's the dangerous hunter virus - also known as hunting fever
