Jumbo Stay

At the Arlanda Airport in Stockholm there is located a unique Hostel. It is constructed within a Boeing 747-200 Jumbo Jet. The Hostel includes 25 rooms, 74 beds, a suite with a private bath which is located within the pilot's cabin. The prices range from 30 euros to 150 euros per night. 

It also has a snack bar and a conference lounge, offering ready made meals, salads, sandwiches...

Although I have never been to a hostel, I have to say that this is an experience I would like to have in this specific Jumbo plane.

Hitler depicted in a Church in France

In a church in Montgeron, South of Paris, a depiction of Hitler is clearly evident on a window. Specifically the depiction is supposed to reflect King Herod ready to kill Apostle Jack with a big sword.  This window was placed at that church in July 1941, after the invasion of France from the Nazi army, as a symbol of the French against the invaders. 

As Dominique Guerin, the priest at the specific church explains: "The figure has Hitler's hair but the moustache is hidden behind his arm, in order to not make the depicted figure obvious to the invaders". 

French Historian Renaud Arpin states: " A few people noticed that it was Hitler since it was placed there 70 years ago".  The window was created by the brothers Maumejean who had worked on many churches in France during that period. This depiction is seen as a national treasure, a symbol of the resistance, in a country which was considered by many as a 'chicken' since it had no resistance, not until the allies landed in Normandy. 

Mykonean Feta from Buenos Aires

Many refer to modern globalization and many of the products we eat or wear come from all around the world. This is no different. A company named Armar in Buenos Aires which produces white cheese, manufactures two products called "Feta Mykonos" and "Feta Juan Grande" which are sold to various shops in the city. Argentina does not import feta cheese from Greece, according to some statistics from the Greek Embassy in Buenos Aires, although feta is found regularly in many supermarkets in Argentina. 

It is known that feta cheese is also produced in Bulgaria, Turkey, India, USA, Hong Kong and Denmark. This is a major problem for the Greek Feta, which after decisions taken at the European Court no one else, except for the Greek Feta from central Greece can use the name Feta. This is a serious and global problem for Feta from Greece, especially since the other white cheese manufactured in other countries are cheaper. That is why for example most if not all the Greek and non-Greek restaurants in the UK use Turkish and Danish Feta. Unfortunately for them it is easily identified as non-Greek since the taste is totally different. 

All of these statistics are verified when we are reminded that the turnover of consumption of Feta cheese within the EU is estimated at 1 billion euros annually, while Greek exports of Feta are approximately 130 million euros.

Britain was born by a tsunami

Britain was part of the European peninsula 8.000 years ago until a big tsunami hit and created the current islands.  The only question is if that first tsunami created the current shape. The coastline and landscape were created after the last ice age. The islands became more humid after the ice melted. The see between Britain and Ireland, the Northern Sea and the English Channel were all land but gradually sank.

It is believed that the tsunami occurred when there was a landslide in Norway, creating one of the largest tsunamis in world history. The water travelled through the low lands between Britain and France, hence the English channel. David Smith, a geologist, believes that the waves were 10 metres high. Residues from the pre-tsunami period were discovered beneath the sea near the Isle of Wight where boats and trees dating back to 8000 years ago were recently found. 

Body Building and infertility

Growing numbers of men are becoming infertile because they take anabolic steroids in order to obtain a muscular body. 

Body Building except from its ability to transform people into 'monsters' it has many defects, infertility being one of them. Doctors claim that men who regularly go to the gym should avoid taking steroids to bulk up. 

Some men who stop taking steroids never regain their reproductive capacity and for others it takes years for normal sperm production to resume.
