Today is ...

Pibber ? :lol:

"To bibber" is the verb used when people mean that they are feeling cold, their teeth clatter and their bodies are shivering ! ;) :lol:

I think that "to bibber" could be a mild form of "to zitter" (with the "z" pronounced as "ts" like it is the common, usual way to pronounce it), whereas "zittern" is a real shivering or trembling.

The word "bibbern" is only used when one is feeling cold (vor Kälte zittern") or has fear or is afraid of something ("vor Angst zittern").

But you don't know this. ;)

the day pibbur decided not to go to Switzerland and Austria. Not because there are lots of trains going here, there and everywhere down there, and the dangers associated with that. It just that one day at the Science Musaeum in London isn't nearly enough!!!

1689: William and Mary (not the one killed by Elizabeth) rules Britannia!
1692: 78 Mc Donaldses closed down at Glen Coe
1867: Work begins on the covering of Brussels' answer to the river Ankh. To allow urban renewal in the centre of the city. Pibbur's going there on thursday. Hmmm.

1960: France got the bomb, but don't you grieve, 'Cause they're on our side (I believe)
1970: Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. Or the other way around.
1981: Sewers exploding in Kentucky! Pibbur is reminded of the river Ankh once more.

Notable first time appearances:
498039 BC: A rock near Olancha, California, US, appearing to anachronistically encase a spark plug.
2004: Lucy, a diamond in the Sky
2009: 1234567890 seconds.

Natural History ? I enjoyed the Dinosaur part most of it. I didn't see too much of the rest, because that was all I wanted to see. :D

Yes, I went through that part. So did half of the population in London. Apparently school's off this week, and everybody's going to the museums. Tomorrow it's Oxford Street.

I also went to the Earth hall, for a geology treat.

… the final day in London. Tomorrow pibbur's going home, and this thread goes back to hibernation

1113: The rise of the Hospitalers

1637: The rise of Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand. He stayed in business untill his death, which was quite common for roman empereors (especially the unholy ones). What was uncommon (especially 1600 years earlier) was of course him staying in business for 20 years. No years of 3 or 6 emperors during his rule. He was quite a bussy man at the same time being King of Hungary and Croatia, King of Bohemia and Archduke of Austria, complying with the safe and sound tradition of business people serving on several boards. What's good for Rome is good for Hungary is good for Croation is good for Bohemia and at least partially good for Austria.

1804: The rise of the Serbian revolution. Leading to (?)
1835: The Rise of the Serbiabn constitution (at least it rhymes).
1906: The rise of Labour.
1946: The rise of Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer
1965: The rise of the maple.
1989: The fall of (Soviet implementation of) Afghanistan
1995: The fall of Kevin Mitnick
2005: The rise of Youtube

pibbur says so long and thanks for all the fish as the thread ends once more

... Father's Day in various countries.

What remains is to convince the wife and my daughters that this also applies to Norway. (along with the rest of the father's days out there, but don't tell them I said that).

… edible book day.

And a day you'd want to visit en.wikipedia.org for not necessarily useless information, but at least information with a twist.
