Thank you for your article! I was actually a bit sad how short the scene with Circe was. I know it is a long movie, but it was over very quickly, and Odysseus and his men got off the hook far too easily, IMHO. Kudos to Samantha Morton to shine in the short time allowed to such a complex character.

I said it before, I say it again: get an MMR titer at your next physical. You want antibodies when measles virus comes your way. I got mine, and I still have immunity.

Please get an MMR titer at your next physical. It pains me to say this in the 21st century, but you may want to check your measles immunity as an adult.

I like this one too: „A training captain of a Saab 340 was betting with his students that the weight-on-gear mechanism would prevent gear retraction while on the ground.“ He lost the bet…. Plane was irreparabel! aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/26...
