My parents have just prepared for me 40ml of vodka mixed with black pepper as a medicine for indigestion. I've felt it in my nose.
Leaping lizards! How much pepper was used, out of idle curiosity. That sounds umm fierce. Funny story in my memory banks about a friend's experience with pepper vodka. I wasn't there, so I've taken this story on faith. The story is that my godfather was at a social gathering where a friend was passing around a shot of pepper vodka he had made. The proper way to sample the concoction was to dab your pinky into it and lick it off your finger. My godfather wasn't paying attention, so when the shot glass came to him, he didn't know what to do with it, thought he had been offered the whole shot, and chugged it down in one gulp. His face, ears, and balding head turned beet red, partly from the heat of the liquor and partly from his own embarrassment, for he wanted so desperately to maintain his dignity in such a humiliating situation. He didn't want to just rush to the nearest water faucet and drink down a gallon of cold water to soothe the pain in his mouth and throat. LOL! Yes, but did it heal his indigestion!? I don't know. The humiliation probably caused him indigestion. |

"What does it all mean?" "Does there exist an algorithm for deciding whether or not a specific mathematical assertion does or does not have a proof?" Church, Turing and Robinson all showed it to be undecidable (Gödel showed it indirectly too); a collection of some of the greatest minds of all time. Please don't make me pronounce it. Ent-shy-dungs-pro-bleem is catchier than 'decision problem'. |

As a German native speaker and non-mathematician, I understand the word as a difficulty to make an important decision in life.
For example, if two wonderful girls are in love with you, you like both of them, and it is difficult for you to choose which one to marry: That is what when I would say "Ich habe ein Entscheidungsproblem".

German language always reminds me of Immanuel Kant and a comment which a friend of mine who studies philosophy made about his books. He said that Kant's German is so hard that even Germans themselves read English translations of them.

I studied a bit of German. I was always having trouble remembering if the item was a die, der, or das. Maybe my instructors weren't able to make it clear, but, I found no sense in what got assigned which gender.
Ukrainian also has genders, but, there are "rules" along with them...if it ends in an A it is a she, if it ends in E or O its an it, ends in consonant it's a he, etc.
However, I was never able to figure out the reasoning behind the German genders, and that made it all so much more difficult as it turned out to simply be an exercise in memorization.

Also I had that same problem when I studied German couple of years ago. Too bad that I've propably forgotten just about everthing I've learnt. German is a fine language. |

Just got back from Church...
My mom had two flat tires, so she had to go and get them fixed, so I went to the Deacon;s house... ALONG WITH THE NEW DEAN OF ST.TIKHON'S SEMINARY!
He (Fr. Alexander Atty) is fixing so much, and is such a kind, gentle man... with firmness when it is needed.
Lord, grant him many years!
Richard
PS. Special thanks to the Deacon of my local parish for taking me into his home! It felt like something out of a book or movie, with at least 3 people in cassocks in a living room...

There is no rule. It must be learnt with each word, for example if you learnt the German Word for "book", you shouldn't just learn "Buch", but "das Buch". |

The wife and children of one of the deacons came to Vespers tonight. Of the two children, a girl and a boy, the little boy had a prayer rope and would lift it and 'bless' people from time to time. This got a lot of smiles. Even more, when he had a child's prayer book and would lift it up whenever the priest did certain things. To top it all off, toward the end of the service, the boy walked to the back of the chapel and closed the door. So cute, you could almost fall over. |
