Questionably important facts about Hell (please skip):
In the past I was a burger-man (the most influential individual in any society, huh, huh) at a beach resort, editor of a cartoon magazine and cartoonist myself, and a guitarist in a Free-Jazz combo (I'd still like to find some decent musicians to form a new ensemble, but things are tough here). Today I am a Married scientist, have two fantastic kids (Kata, 1; Pavel, 0). I speak a lotsa languages fluently (and I'm currently learning Russian from my wife) - maybe that's why it's difficult to keep my English tidy, or, at least, a good excuse for it.

From the Talmud: When a Jew stands before his maker, he must justify himself for all the allowed pleasures he did not seize.
The Greywhales mating behaviour explains why jealousy is connected to posessiveness and not to love. The mating will work as follows: Two male Greywhales begin the courtship, and after the female whale made her choice, the one not chosen at first leaves and dives of to leave the two alone during the foreplay. When the foreplay is over and the actual copulation should start, the unchosen Whale will dive up and support both whales on his back to help out on the penetration procedure of the 3 m long penis (The copulation is carried out vertically in the water)
The leather of Hypopotamus is so hard after a 6 year tanning, it is used to grind diamonds. Hypopotamusses have a spatula formed tail which works like a propeller and is used to whirl their excrements while defecating. A Legend says it is that way because God designated the Hypopotamus' dwelling place in the grasslands of Africa. As the Hypopotamus perceived that it's very hot there, he asked God if he could dwell in the water during the daytime and eat grass during the night. God conceded under the condition that the Hypopotamus promised not to secretly eat any fish while in the water. In order to control that he demanded that the Hypopotamus whirls up his feces as described above for him to look out for fishbones.
